His twin brother, the judge Viola, receives a visit from some collaborators of his dead brother who invite him to keep the team alive. He agrees to honor his brother but soon realizes the team could be a chance for the all city to redeem itself. After a few years, the team becomes one of the most successful of the Italian championship, but then something happens.
