After Detective Rocco Schiavone is posted to Aosta, a dramatic case turns up on the ski slopes. And a friend calls to tempt Rocco with a dubious opportunity.
Rocco and his team investigate the case of a dead woman found hanging from a chandelier, and there's something not quite right about this apparent suicide
The Berguet case is reopened when the instigator of the kidnapping is murdered in prison. Rocco becomes determined to get to the criminal organisation that controls the region's economy.
After the incident, Rocco is questioned by his bosses. Depressed and upset, he is unable to return to his everyday job, until he's roused by a quest for revenge.
