Plot Summary

In the small town of Valras-Gaspé, the local police force is on the brink of dissolution due to budget cuts. Officer Martin Dubois, a dedicated but slightly unorthodox policeman, teams up with his colleagues to find a way to save their jobs. Their plan involves participating in a prestigious regional police dog competition, hoping the prize money will keep the department afloat. However, their preparations are hilariously hampered by their own lack of experience with canine units and the eccentricities of their small community.
