Plot

Commissioner Aldo Chessari is sent to direct a police detachment on the outskirts of Rome, a temporary station in a hot area where he is entrusted with few means and few men. His deputy, Lorenzo Corsi, a young man just out of the Academy, collides with the corrupt and deformed reality of real life. The small police station appears to be a frontier outpost, a punitive destination where recruits and hotheads have been assigned. Chessari would like a quiet department, routine operations, stalking and wiretapping and no fuss that could affect his chances of career advancement. But his men, a group of mavericks, do not stop in front of the rules imposed by power, even reaching the limit of legality.
