Enquête sur un scandale d'état

October 2015. French customs agents seize seven tons of cannabis in the heart of the capital. On the same day, Hubert Antonie, a former mole with a nebulous past, contacts Stéphane Vilner, a journalist from Libération. He claims that he can prove the existence of a state drug trafficking led by Jacques Billard, a media figure and high-ranking French policeman. Although suspicious at first, the young journalist eventually plunges into the investigation, which leads him into the darkest corners of the Republic.
