A monk is found cuddled below the fort Royal on the St Marguerite Island outside Cannes. The infamous island that housed the Man with the iron mask. Whohuged the monk and why? Camille and Harry cross paths once again, making Lea jealous. Harry's old friend Father Placid was a mentor to the dead monk, and Camille and Lea have to track down the victim's troubled past in order to find the answers. Harry is one step ahead but gets in over his head, having to rely on Camille's help to stay alive. Meanwhile her father's nemesis Julien Boire makes it even more personal by approaching Camille's sister Margaux. His warning to Camille is clear - stop digging or else.
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.
