Paris, May 29, 1942: a bomb explodes in front of the Palais de Justice, in a café frequented by the Special Brigades, causing two deaths and several injuries. A few days later, the body of an unknown woman is found in the woods of Seine-et-Oise. A crime of passion or politics? A mysterious group called the “Valmy Detachment” is at work, sent by the clandestine leaders of France’s Communist Party to punish the traitors, or those assumed to be. Charged with investigating the two matters, Inspector Léon Sadorski sees his vacation plans thwarted. What’s more, he must soon participate in the big roundup of the Vélodrome d’Hiver, ordered by the Nazis and executed by the French police. From this point, a tragic fate threatens his young neighbor Julie Odwak, the Jewish teen whom he secretly lusts after and whose mother he had arrested.
