The official synopsis reads:
Stéphanie Bertrand, portrayed by Léa Drucker (War of the Worlds), in a César and Lumière Award-winning performance, is a dogged police investigator at the IGPN, France's internal affairs unit, assigned to the case of a teenager critically injured by police fire during a Paris demonstration. Tasked with establishing responsibility, Stéphanie and her team meticulously gather testimony, scrutinises footage and questions the officers involved who make no secret of their hostility. But when she discovers the victim comes from her own hometown, the case turns personal, and her inquiry collides with mounting institutional resistance, forcing her to confront the fragile lines between truth, loyalty and justice.
