About The New Squad

In the heart of Naples, the Spaccanapoli Police Station is established to combat crime in the most affected areas. It is led by Deputy Commissioner Paola Ricci, a law-abiding officer who often clashes with Sergio Vitale, the impulsive and direct leader of the "Falchi" (Falchi). The Squad must confront crime but also its own vulnerabilities.
