Based on the bestselling mystery novels by Maurizio de Giovanni, this RAI TV series recounts the story of a police station located on a hilltop district in Naples called Pizzofalcone, named for the falconry practiced there at one time. The police station had been involved in some very corrupt drug trafficking, and now the protagonist, Giuseppe Lojacono has been transferred there as a kind of punishment. He and his co-workers (all with troubled pasts) have the task of setting things right at the station before it closes down.
