Episode 1: Dominican Republic
In their first investigation, David and his assistant Mozart, a young woman who knows computers better than anyone, track alleged murderer François Kermann to the Dominican Republic. With the help of a French police captain on local assignment and thanks to the very attractive Clara, Mercier unravels a case that turns out to be much more complex than he thought.
Episode 2: Morocco
On his second case, David Mercier hits the streets of Morocco to investigate the kidnapping of a Moroccan child recently adopted by a French family. His leads take him to Casablanca and Ouarzazate, aided by a young fearless cop and the Head of the Moroccan Police Criminal Division. To expose the illegal adoption network, Mercier must go undercover as a husband looking for a child to adopt. When his boss, police commissioner Joubert, shows up to play his wife, the two enjoy their roles above and beyond the call of duty.
Episode 3: Cambodia
An archeologist in Corsica is murdered and a priceless antiquity stolen. The jade elephant was a gift from the King of Siam to King Louis XIV and one of only two in the world. The other is in Cambodia and at risk.
David Mercier braves the Cambodian jungle to track down the notorious criminal who has stolen the antiquity. He is helped by an attractive female assistant and a strange Asian expert in ancient art. On the way he is reunited with a childhood friend, a Buddhist monk who also lends him a hand.
