Recently divorced Bénédicte Marceau decides to leave Paris and move back to her hometown of Nantes with her daughter Rose. But painful memories await her there - When she was just 16, Ben's Jehovah's Witness parents forced her to give up her newborn son just hours after his birth. A decision that drove Ben to run away from home and leave Nantes. Her son's existence is a painful secret that Ben has kept from everyone else in her life. Nantes offers Ben the hope of a fresh start. Bolstered by her job as a reporter, the childhood friends she will be reunited with, and her daughter Rose, Ben hopes to build a new life for herself in Nantes. As a reporter, her job is covering criminal cases. But she's not one to simply pass along official statements. She likes to do her own investigating, out in the field. Because Ben never gives up, even if means breaking the law or violating procedures. An attitude that soon has her butting heads with Laurent Wagner, the local police captain.
