"2004: Im rechtsmedizinischen Institut der Stadt Padua verschwinden 44 Kilo Heroin. Das führt zu großer Unruhe sowohl bei der Polizei als auch bei der Mafia. Marco Buratti, genannt "Der Alligator", Blues-Fan und Privatdetektiv ohne Lizenz, dafür aber mit einer ausgeprägten Neigung zum Calvados-Konsum, bekommt das Angebot, in dem Fall zu ermitteln. Der Auftraggeber gehört zu der Sorte von Auftraggebern, deren Angebote man nicht ablehnen kann. Gemeinsam mit seinen Partnern, dem Schmuggler und Hobby-Killer Beniamino Rossi, und dem übergewichtigen Ex-Aktivisten Max la Memoria versuchen sie, den Fall zu lösen. Zwei Jahre später wird Rossis Freundin, die Bauchtänzerin Sylvie, entführt. Der Alligator und seine Freunde bekommen schnell heraus, das die Entführung im Zusammenhang mit dem Drogenraub steht. Als sie Sylvie befreien können, stellen Sie fest, dass sie über Monate brutal vergewaltigt wurde und dass die berüchtigte kosovarische Mafia hinter der Entführung steckt."
