Plot
Candice Renoir is a mother of four children. She has taken a ten-year leave of absence from her job as a police detective in Paris and has spent this time as a stay-at-home mom, traveling with the family for her husband's jobs in, among others, the United States, Mexico and Singapore. After her marriage fails due to her husband's infidelity, Candice resumes her job as an investigator. She has called in favors and has landed the job of head of the small criminal investigations division (fr: Brigade de Sûreté Urbaine (BSU)) of the Police Commissariat in Sète (Hérault), a Mediterranean seaside resort town, near Montpellier.
From the moment she arrives at the Police in Sète she is at odds with the local chief of police Commissary Yasmine Attia - as Candice's appointment was made on instruction by the Police HQ in Paris - but also with Captain Dumas, the person who feels he lost the job as a result of her appointment. Attia had promised Dumas the position of head of the BSU and he acted in this assignment for a month before Major Renoir's arrival, relegating him to her deputy, much to his frustration and the frustration of the rest of the team.
Renoir's ten-year career gap has also left some gaps in her knowledge of more recent police procedures, which initially lands her in trouble. In addition, her bubbly personality and soft, at times motherly, behavior, unconventional in a criminal police detective, makes her subordinates call her 'Barbie doll' behind her back, but her unique approach brings results and quickly earns her their respect.
