Plot
A man steps off a ferry. Suspicious he is being watched, he ducks through traffic and avoids his pursuers long enough to swallow a microchip and flee in a car. Unable to elude them, he is rammed off the road and shot, but his murderers are unable to find the microchip. Back in France his body is scanned by intelligence chief Colonel Grasset and team. As a result, Grasset gathers DGSE field agents, Loic, Rayond and Brissaeu, and introduces them to Tony, a 'company guest' and deep sea expert who will support their next mission to Morocco. Their debriefing includes France's motives behind the mission: France plans to stop an Estonian arms dealer from collaborating with Angolan rebels leveraging the country's diamond mines for Civil War weapons.
Laying the groundwork in Geneva, is female agent Lisa. Disguised as a babysitter, she drugs the two children so she can find and photograph their father's documents. Once completed, she joins Brissaeu in their new cover as husband and wife vacationers to Morocco. From the start, their team are not alone, a suspicious pair of females engage Loic and Raymond poolside, whereas Lisa is harassed by a US spy to abort the mission. The team receive instructions to move forward as planned, and although they sink a ship carrying ammunition, Lisa is arrested at the Swiss border and Raymond is murdered in his hotel. Who is behind these events and why becomes the knot Brisseau must unravel with help from the spy community.
