In The Bronx in 2013, veteran NYPD Special Operations Sergeant, Ralph Sarchie, stands over the corpse of an infant in an alley. He and his partner, Butler, resume their nocturnal patrol for the 46th Precinct. A domestic disturbance call comes in over the radio. Sarchie finds out that the male at the address is a former Marine. He tells Butler that perhaps the former Marine still thinks he is fighting in the war.
