On her return, she is assigned to the Territorial Internal Security and takes on a counter-espionage mission in the Alps: a shadow seems to connect this file to the ambush in Africa. Convinced that her superiors are hiding information from her and haunted by Antoine’s captivity, she launches into a race against time, outside of any official framework… at the risk of losing everything.”
