Among these officers areNYPDofficers Murphy and Corelli, who work out of the 41st precinct, nicknamed "Fort Apache" because to those who work there, it feels like an army outpost in foreign territory. The streets are filled with dangerous gangs, criminals, and drug dealers. Unemployment is very high and the neighborhood is filled with garbage and wrecked buildings. While Murphy is a hard-drinking and lonely divorced father, he has a great camaraderie with Corelli. As well, Murphy's life improves when he meets a young nurse, Isabella, and they start a romantic relationship.The precinct is one of the worst and most dilapidated in the entire department, approaching demolition and staffed mostly by officers who are unwanted by and have been transferred out of other precincts. Additionally, the precinct's officers do not represent the largePuerto Ricancommunity, as only 4% of the officers areHispanicin the largest non-English speaking section of the Bronx.

Murphy seems to be on the verge of quitting the force, when he sees a purse snatcher rob a person and flee.
