Season 1 • Episode 8
LatestTwo teenager girls fall for the same guy and are torn apart. Until they realize he betrayed them with a third girl, who is not even from the city. The decide to take revenge.
A detective series centered around a police station in a working-class suburb of a provincial French city (the St. Herblain area of Nantes, to be exact), where detached houses with kitchen gardens rub shoulders with tower blocks. There's no mafia or organized crime, just petty lawbreaking, but it keeps our cops busy. Fights that get out of hand, conjugal disputes, quarrels between neighbors, family tiffs, pick-pocketing, pilfering from building sites, minor trafficking and illegal laborers. And plenty of bodily harm, from the trivial to the extremely grievous and, at times, even fatal. Against this backdrop of everyday lawlessness, the series paints a picture of people's lives when they slip out of control, veering into the comic, the tragic or the absurd.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
St. Herblain is a real Nantes suburb where Guilmineau grew up; locals initially protested the 'negative portrayal' until critics hailed its humanism.
The series was cancelled after one season despite critical acclaim—Marie Bunel (Kreusky) has hinted the planned season 2 would have revealed Cliquot's undercover past.
