Plastic surgeon Mathieu Belmont is found murdered in his clinic’s parking lot. And this is a sensitive case for Captain Santoni — as Belmont was the person who reconstructed her face after she was assaulted two years ago. As suspicion falls on Jessica, a wannabe influencer disfigured during an operation performed by Dr. Belmont, the case attracts intense media attention. Journalist Gabrielle Pasquier decides to dive into the fascinating yet controversial world of ‘fake’ beauty, where image is everything, and truth is anything but skin-deep.
