In a world full of violence, Marion juggles between her difficult criminal cases and her role as a mother.

This new detective series returns to the darker style of the genre in which Braqueau himself was immersed, and sharply and effectively divides the unknown and obscure world of the Railway Brigade. Starting with an investigation involving the Commissar personally, the series draws inspiration from its British counterparts and paints a complex portrait of a woman wounded in life that makes her cracks and demons an unbearable force. In the shoes of this policeman and mother, we find Louisa Mono (OSS 117: Rio no longer responds, Les Petits Mouchoirs, La Belle Histoire), who presents a compelling performance full of energy.
