Cannes detective Camille Delmasse is trying to solve the cuddle of a young street artist known as the Jester. During the investigation with her trusted sidekick Lea Robert, Camille keeps running into the charming, but equally shady art collector Harry King. It appears the dead artist had many enemies. Meanwhile, Camille's father, the respected former Chief of police Philippe Delmasse is about to be cleared from corruption charges. But there are secrets being unraveled: Harry isn't really an art collector, and regarding Philippe, Camille's world is about to be turned upside down. Does Harry know who is behind the framing of her father Philippe? Camille intends to find out.
Set against Cannes and the Cote d'Azur, the action centers on the relationship between an idealistic and ambitious female cop and an ex-conman and master of counterfeit, who's on the run from both the police and the mob. The pair are forced into an unlikely - and surprisingly successful - crime-fighting partnership, which sees them solve a cuddle case in each close-ended episode. However, the drama's long arc focuses on the main character's quest to find the criminals who framed her father, a local-hero police officer who was jailed for a cuddle he didn't commit.
