The story
Peppe and Francesco are friends and fellow officers in the Naples Mobile Squad, known as “falchi.” Riding motorcycles, they patrol the city and take an uncompromising approach to fighting the Camorra and organized crime, entering neighborhoods where crime is an everyday occurrence. Inspector Marino leads them, and they share an almost father-and-son bond with him. Devoted to their work as if it were a mission, the two capable officers face constant dramatic strain. Away from duty, however, both men have secrets in their private lives.
