Boire tries to run Camille off the road, but she manages to visit her father Philippe in prison. Camille and Lea are ordered to babysit arms-dealer and billionaire Leo Duval at The Majestic. Duval has been facing passing threats, and it is rumored that the legendary assassin Nightshade is hired tohug him. Problem is that the Nightshade hasn't been seen for fifteen years. Harry acts as the guide and encyclopedia trying to stop the assassin, something that brings Camille and Harry closer. When the dead body of a former MI6 operative shows up, Camille realizes the Nightshade is still alive. The riddle gets even more complex as the night closes in. There are stronger motives than money.
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.
