his former captain and the consequences look set to spark a gangland
war in Montreal.
Montreal, 1978. Newly promoted
Sergeant-Detective Émile Cinq-Mars attends the scene of seventeen

one apartment.
When the former captain of Night Patrol, Armand
Touton, receives a tip from an undercover informant in the Mafia,
Cinq-Mars is ordered to intervene with a prisoner's release: the man
must stay behind bars. He fails with the task and the immediate
consequences are devastating.
While trying to remedy his
failure, solve the mystery of the break-ins and the case of the dead
body, a chilling aspect emerges . . . gangland Montreal is bracing for
war.
