Ep 1Fitoussi
France, 2009. Simon Weynachter, director of the national judicial customs service, sets up a new investigation office to fight against financial crime. During a random search, Weynachter and his teams uncover a seemingly ordinary VAT scam involving two Tunisian crooks from the working-class Belleville district, Fitous and Bouli. They establish a connection with a mysterious trader from the wealthy neighborhood, Jérôme Attias.
Ep 2Borderline
Fitous, Bouli and Attias are preparing a major scam on the new Overgreen market for buying and reselling carbon quotas. As his investigation progresses, Simon is approached by a whistleblower who reveals to him the possibility of a gigantic fraud on this market of "pollution rights", which is worth billions.
Ep 3Number 26
Attias's relatives are worried to see him frequenting Fitous and Bouli; his wife and his billionaire father-in-law know that he is capable of any excesses, whether out of a love of gambling or simple provocation. Simon knows that the carbon financial bomb is going to explode. But where? Simon has no idea; nor does he know where his daughter Émilie is, having gone on the road with her boyfriend, a drug addict like her.
Ep 4Alya
Fitous, Bouli and Attias have settled into a house in Tel Aviv to launch hostilities. Their scam quickly exceeds their expectations and millions are pouring in. To obtain information, Simon places Annabelle, Attias' wife, in custody, thus also putting pressure on her father. Simon finally manages to locate the trio in Israel.
Ep 5Anton Zagury
In Tel Aviv, Anton Zagury, a figure of the banditry with whom Simon is in contact, agrees to play the role of informant in exchange for a tax arrangement with the French authorities. Attias, Fitous and Bouli continue to rake in millions. The fraud threatens to quickly get out of control. Simon returns to France to alert the authorities who turn a deaf ear. But in Tel Aviv, his informant has come into contact with the crooks.
Ep 6Shame on You
Simon mounts an operation to arrest Fitous, Bouli and Attias in Tel Aviv. But a blunder by the French authorities compromises the intervention. Simon can only count on Zagury's testimony, but the French authorities refuse to make the financial deal he demands. When Simon learns that Attias has been overtaken by the Tunisians, he decides to play this last card.
