Episode 1 A few days before his release from prison, Reda receives a visit from his half-sister Ines, whom he barely knows. She has just joined the anti-Mafia unit in Bastia as a judge. This department, headed by Judge Maertens, is investigating the murder of a mayor who is believed to have resisted the Mafia. Upon his release from prison, Reda approaches his former gangster friends, but he realizes that there is no longer a place for him and finds himself relegated to the drug dealing spot in the Lupino housing project. |
