A police brigade working in the dangerous northern neighborhoods of Marseille, where the level of crime is higher than anywhere else in France.
1942 : The Third Reich is at his peak. The Czech resistance in London decides to plan the most ambitious military operation of WWII : Anthropoid. Two young recruits in their late twenties, Joseph Gacik and Jan Kubis, are sent to Prague to assassinate the most ruthless Nazi leader : Reinhardt Heydrich, Head of the SS, the Gestapo and the architect of the “Final Solution”.
Newly transferred to the bustling port city of Marseille to assist with a crackdown on organized crime, energetic young magistrate Pierre Michel is given a rapid-fire tutorial on the ins and outs of an out-of-control drug trade. Pierre’s wildly ambitious mission is to take on the French Connection, a highly organized operation that controls the city’s underground heroin economy and is overseen by the notorious —and reputedly untouchable— Gaetan Zampa. Fearless, determined and willing to go the distance, Pierre plunges into an underworld world of insane danger and ruthless criminals.
