Rocco Schiavone has a passion for smoking marijuana. Despite working in law enforcement, it's difficult to describe him as a law-abiding and disciplined officer. It is for these reasons that he is transferred to the alpine town of Aosta. Rocco finds it hard to live so far away from the Italian capital, which he loves dearly. He dislikes the mountains, the freezing climate, and the customs of the local residents. Rocco also holds his superiors and their foolish rules in contempt. However, he adores conducting investigations.
