In the backstage of a beauty pageant, excitement runs high. Amid bustling crew, anxious contestants, and invested families, the host guides us through the final moments before curtain-up. But beneath the pageant’s cheerful façade, a more complex world unfolds. Here, dreams and pressure collide, and… the outcome may not be what anyone expects.

Fired for insubordination, PJ Antoine Verlay, good cop but a blood strand and having difficulty working as a team, is attached to the OCBC (Central Office for the fight against Traffic in Cultural Goods) thanks to the intervention of the commander Pardo, his friend who becomes, therefore, his new superior. A clever investigator, but a stranger to everything related to culture, Antoine will have to work with Florence Chassagne, renowned art historian, who lives, speaks and breathes culture, to the point that - fruit of her great imagination - it happens to her in the midst of daydreams, to see and talk to the great artists who have disappeared as if they were familiar to her.
