Paris, 1899: The Third Republic is on the brink of collapse, President Félix Faure has just died, and the body of an unknown woman is found in the Seine, dismembered and hidden in a suitcase. Young ambitious inspector Antoine Jouin takes on the investigation and unexpectedly uncovers a state secret related to the Dreyfus affair, anarchists, and a nationalist conspiracy against the republic.
