Paris, 1761. BriIIiant young Parisian police commissioner Nicolas Le Floch works under Monsieur de Sartine, the Royal Lieutenant GeneraI of PoIice. Louis XV's kingdom is plagued by conspiracies and murders. With the help of his faithfuI subordinate Bourdeau, Nicolas soIves mysterious disappearances and sorts out awkward scandaIs. From seedy taverns to the muffIed haIlways of Versailles, from brothels to the ChateIet prisons, he tracks and stakes out suspects, questions witnesses, gathers evidence, foiIs traps, and unveiIs plotters.
NicoIas Le FIoch pIunges viewers into the mysteries of 18th century Paris, a world teeming with crime, debauchery and theft.
