Bordeaux. A cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Belmont, is found dead in a gruesome scene in the parking lot of the clinic where he practiced with his two partners and friends. For Captain Sarah Santoni, this investigation quickly becomes deeply sensitive: she herself underwent reconstructive facial surgery following a violent assault. And the victim, Dr. Belmont… is the very man who operated on her and helped her overcome her trauma. Soon, a prime suspect emerges: Jessica, a young woman partially disfigured by the same surgeon. Her desire to resemble her influencer idols has turned into a tragedy. Meanwhile, alongside the investigation, Gabrielle, a renowned investigative journalist and natural beauty, takes a keen interest in the world of cosmetic surgery. A world that sells dreams, but can also turn into a nightmare. .
Bordeaux. Mathieu Belmont, renowned cosmetic surgeon, is found murdered in a macabre scene in the parking lot of the Medici private clinic that he ran with his two associates and friends. For Sarah Santoni, the police captain in charge of the investigation, the case is sensitive: two years earlier, Dr. Belmont reconstructed her multiplely fractured face following a violent attack. Today Sarah is more beautiful than before, and she has a hard time with it. Just like Axel, her boyfriend who became jealous and paranoid of Sarah's relationship with her surgeon... This same surgeon who operated on the face of a young woman, Jessica Valoire, now half-disfigured and an immediate suspect of the doctor's murder. A case that fascinates the media sphere, including Gabrielle Pasquier, journalist at L'Investigateur, who decides to immerse herself in the controversial world of manufactured beauty...
The police investigation continues and still targets Jessica Valoire. Weakened and angry, she would have reason to want revenge... But Gabrielle sees Jessica above all as a victim. The journalist takes a close interest in the young woman, paints her portrait in L'Investigateur, questions cosmetic surgery and the notion of beauty in our society. But between her budding affection for Jessica and the blackmail she exerts on Captain Santoni to obtain information, Gabrielle is playing a dangerous game. At the clinic, the two other surgeons, Ambre and Stan, receive threats whose signature recalls the murder of their associate... Could it be a serial killer?
Ambre is found dead, in the same macabre scene as Dr. Belmont! And once again, it is Stan who discovers the body. What if he didn't say everything? At least this is the conviction of Gabrielle who decides to investigate the questionable working methods of the surgeon of the influencers. For her part, Sarah makes a chilling discovery about Axel, her partner who was clearly not content to complain about his special relationship with Dr. Belmont... Could the man whose life she shares be linked to the death of the surgeon who gave him a face?
While Axel is now in the crosshairs of the police, Sarah finds herself withdrawn from the investigation: concealment of evidence, conflict of interest... But she is not the only one to have cheated: it becomes more and more obvious that in the past, Dr. Belmont hid a crucial element of his reconstruction from her. Will she finally succeed in explaining the anguish that overwhelmed her the moment she saw her new face for the first time? Gabrielle makes a discovery about Jessica that shatters all her certainties... Will the journalist and the captain finally manage to cooperate to shed light on the murders at the Medici clinic?
