After what seems like several lifetimes, Commissario Trotti is ready for retirement. Soon, he'll finally be able to fulfil his dream of moving to the countryside villa he co-owns with his cousin. But there are several people trying to talk him out of retirement. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Bassi, a reckless, womanising private detective who worked under Trotti years ago before being kicked off the force, approaches him for help. But when Bassi is found in a ditch with a bullet in his head, Trotti decides to take on one last murder case after all.
