David Bouchard and Martin Ward team up for an investigation that takes them across Canada after the band chief of an Indigenous community in Gaspésie mysteriously disappears. They're joined by a new cadre of cops who are just as unorthodox as they are: Gabrielle, David’s daughter, who has her father’s stubborn streak; Joe, an intrepid Micmac police officer from Gesgapegiag; and Kim, a Sureté du Québec lieutenant who is generally skeptical of David’s methods.
