Pitch:

Chloé Saint-Laurent is a singular clinical psychologist who works for the police as a criminologist. She uses her outstanding expertise and sensitivity to enter the minds of victims and murders alike and solve the most devastating crimes.

Police commander Thomas Rocher, a gifted field investigator, is obliged to work with Chloé and her decidedly idiosyncratic methods.

The criminologist’s disdain for protocol and impulsive nature rub the experienced police officer the wrong way. Her fragility and eccentricity destabilise the direct and honest Thomas, more used to action than introspection. He doesn’t see what Chloé brings to his unit and sees her presence as a disavowal, handicap and even a real source of danger for his team members.

Despite their differences, one thing makes the unlikely couple an incredibly complementary duo: the deep empathy they feel for the victims and a quenchless thirst for justice.
