The hunt for those responsible for the November 2015 attacks is putting the French secret services under high tension. Among them, Lucie, an experienced and determined anti-terrorist agent of the DGSI, is fighting to move the investigation forward. Against the advice of her management, she joined forces with Malika, a seasoned analyst from the DGSE. For his part, despite the paranoia that reigns within the services, Vincent, a major at the territorial DGSI in Lille, does everything possible to protect his new source and allow him to infiltrate the heart of French jihadism. The limitless commitment of these anonymous heroes, ready to do anything to protect France from new attacks, will undermine their private lives and awaken deep scars.

Based on the book by journalist Matthieu Suc

"For this soundtrack, we had to reflect two important axes. The first axis is the investigation, thriller, oppressive side, evoking the tension that is constant in the psychology of the characters.

To do this, I used electronic instruments, loops, electro bass in ostinato, synthetic sounds, to give a kind of "coldness" to these musical atmospheres.

There are also worked sounds such as "old-fashioned" concrete music, textures of slowed down acoustic sounds, filters, etc...

The second axis was the expression of the "humanity" of the investigators, their emotions, their weaknesses, their heroic side, the destiny side also with a solemn trumpet.

I used more traditional orchestral musical means for this, strings, horns, a recurring theme with an ascending melody.

At the beginning, we had gone for a modern jazzy spirit, neo jazz, nu jazz, for the dark thriller side, but it only half worked. there are still in the soundtrack some jazzy sequences, harmonics in the main themes, rhythmic here and there, wrinkled cymbals for example, and above all this trumpet sound recurrent throughout the series. More or less filtered, it is also used without a mouthpiece and goes so far as to sound like a Duduk sound that evokes the oriental side that hovers over these events."
