A detective series centered around a police station in a working-class suburb of a provincial French city (the St. Herblain area of Nantes, to be exact), where detached houses with kitchen gardens rub shoulders with tower blocks. There's no mafia or organized crime, just petty lawbreaking, but it keeps our cops busy. Fights that get out of hand, conjugal disputes, quarrels between neighbors, family tiffs, pick-pocketing, pilfering from building sites, minor trafficking and illegal laborers. And plenty of bodily harm, from the trivial to the extremely grievous and, at times, even fatal. Against this backdrop of everyday lawlessness, the series paints a picture of people's lives when they slip out of control, veering into the comic, the tragic or the absurd.
During an illegal visit in a sci-lab, Thomas is zapped on the arm by a blue ray. He now can transform himself into a girl (Emmanuelle) when the scar on his elbow is rubbed. As a young man, his life was as hard as it could be for a normal adolescent. As both a young man and a young woman, he has double trouble. Some animated scenes help us discover his state of mind.
