Investigating magistrate Judge Bartoli is charming, irreverent and allergic to rules. Above all, he will stop at nothing to shed light on the truth. Even when all clues point to a suspect’s guilt, if Judge Bartoli isn’t convinced, no one can stand in the way of his investigation, as he picks apart the motivations of criminal minds.
Like in the case of a young deadbeat accused of murdering a woman whose home he broke into. Convinced of his innocence, despite the evidence, Judge Bartoli leads his team into an in-depth scrutiny of the young man’s character. Concurrently, the judge re-opens a cold, unsolved case…
