The Plot
The story is set in a small but fictional town in France named Villefranche. It is very gloomy and not even a small glint of sunshine can come through the thick forest in the mountain. Only a few can grasp living in the place.
It is mainly because of two reasons such that simply living there is dangerous and very far from being easy while the other reason would be the increasing rate of death not due to the living conditions but because of the increasing murder rate.
To make the matters worse, Villefranche is even considered to be one of the most dangerous towns in the country that has a murder rate of six times more than that of the national average.
Major Laurène Weiss, the main protagonist of the series, is the head of the police department and has lived all her life in this small town. She is in search of the truth of her past and while doing so, she has come face to face with death a couple of times already.
The condition of the town that seems to be already in a deep ill-fated situation worsens with the discovery of a dead body and the disappearance of the mayor’s daughter.
One unfortunate prosecutor named Franck Sirani is sent to Villefranche to help in the investigation and found the truth about the dark happenings in the town.
This soon unraveled a lot of dark and mysterious conspiracy theories that include unfolding the unknown disturbing pasts of the characters in the series.
