The latter was inspired by the crime novels of Jean Lemieux and tells a murder investigation that, with its breathtaking landscapes, excites all the inhabitants of the archipelago.
After the murder of Rosalie Richard (Milya Corbeil Gauvreau), the daughter of the mayor of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Roméo Richard (Jean-François Pichette), several suspects are in the crosshairs of the authorities. The murderer morbidly displays the teenager’s body, confusing the Cap-aux-Meules police officers who rarely have to solve violent crimes.

Detective Sergeant Surprenant, a veteran of serious crimes in Montreal who has sought refuge on the islands, investigates with the help of his colleague Geneviève Savoie (Catherine Brunet) and inexperienced police officers and even forgoes his vacation to solve this sad story. But surprisingly he has to deal with the arrogant chief inspector Sébastien Gingras (Patrice Godin), who was sent from Quebec and with whom he is in trouble.
