Synopsis
Morgane Alvaro is a 38-year-old mother of three with two former spouses. Despite her remarkable intellect, she works as a housekeeper. After uncovering a crucial piece of evidence at the Lille police station, she is brought on as a consultant to prevent the dismissal of a homicide case. Inspector Adam Karadec, who heads the inquiry, finds it challenging to collaborate with Morgane due to her nonconformist attitude and tendency to challenge authority. Nevertheless, her analytical skills become indispensable in cracking complex cases. In return for her assistance, the superintendent consents to reopen the investigation into her first husband’s disappearance following his arrest 15 years earlier.
