Plot

An ambitious and but not always methodical young policewoman clashes with her superiors in the southern city of Toulon and is summarily transferred to a small mining town in the far north. There she is assigned to secretarial work and then given what in the eyes of the local chief of police is an unimportant investigation. This leads her to uncover a network of child pornography and prostitution involving the most important family of the town. She struggles with the chief of police and the prosecutor to indict members of the family, but they refuse to back her and move forward against such locally powerful people. Forced to hand in her badge and resign, the film ends with her in a taxi with her bags on the way to the train station.
