Episodes
1. Fitoussi
France, 2009. Simon Weynachter, director of the national judicial customs service, sets up a new investigation office to fight against financial crime. During a random search, Weynachter and his teams uncover a seemingly ordinary VAT scam involving two Tunisian crooks from the working-class Belleville district, Fitous and Bouli. They establish a connection with a mysterious trader from the wealthy neighborhood, Jérôme Attias.
2. Borderline
Fitous, Bouli and Attias are preparing a major scam on the new Overgreen market for buying and reselling carbon quotas. As his investigation progresses, Simon is approached by a whistleblower who reveals to him the possibility of a gigantic fraud on this market of "pollution rights", which is worth billions.
3. Number 26
Attias's relatives are worried to see him frequenting Fitous and Bouli; his wife and his billionaire father-in-law know that he is capable of any excesses, whether out of a love of gambling or simple provocation. Simon knows that the carbon financial bomb is going to explode. But where? Simon has no idea; nor does he know where his daughter Émilie is, having gone on the road with her boyfriend, a drug addict like her.
