EPISODE 1:
At Police HQ in Paris, Captain Yachvili heads the BRI (Search and Intervention Brigade) while his great rival, Captain Constantine, runs the Criminal Investigation Brigade, aka "La Crim". Clearly, something happened in the past that brought their careers together and made them hate each other ever since.
Two young interns arrive. Marie van Sant is assigned to the BRI and Anne Rossi to La Crim. Both units are on the trail of gangster boss Serge Oriou, whose gang has been attacking armed cash trucks.
At the same time, they investigate the death of Pascal, the driver of Police Chief Léa Legrand. The investigation leads them to a prostitution ring organized by a nasty Albanian crook, Vlad.
Yachvili succeeds in arresting Oriou and the net closes in on Vlad.

EPISODE 2:
After a tumultuous investigation, Constantine and Yachvili collar Vlad, but Constantine shoots Vlad dead and the arrest ends in carnage. The rivalry between the two cops is stronger than ever. Internal Affairs investigates the shootout between Vlad and the cops. Yachvili and Constantine are both in the hot seat. This time, Léa Legrand can't cover her two best cops. To make matters even worse, one of Yachvili's men messes up on a routine operation, which results in Anne Rossi getting killed.

EPISODE 3:
After Anne Rossi's death, it's war between Yachvili and Constantine, who blames the BRI's head for the death of his intern. Just then, Serge Oriou escapes from jail. The two cops work frantically and ruthlessly to re-arrest the gangster and find Anne's killer. The two investigations merge into one when Yachvili and Constantine learn that Barros, Anne's killer, is preparing a major heist with Oriou.

EPISODE 4:
Oriou and Barros put their plans into operation. Despite their mutual hatred, Yachvili and Constantine work together to find them. The Internal Affairs investigation into the cops' unorthodox methods puts them both under massive pressure that only Léa Legrand can relieve. She sees Yach and Constantine as her finest cops and best hopes of putting Oriou and Barros back behind bars.
For Yachvili, Constantine and Oriou, the bell has gone for the final round. It's time to settle scores and finally break with the burden of past events that involve all three of them.

"French TV fiction is evolving. A great big kick into the landscape of French production. Modern and forceful heroes."
L’Express

"A highly effective whirlwind of action and suspense."
France Dimanche
