Céline Ducourneau is lying on her terrace in a coma. She was trying to rebuild her life in Montpellier with the help of a women's association after being abused for years by her ex-husband. As he is still in prison, everything points to a simple gardening accident, but Commandant Soler notices a familiar face in the CCTV images of Céline's house: that of Rodolphe Meunier, another man who abused his wife and the reason why Léa was transferred to Montpellier three years ago. Meunier may have attacked Ms Ducourneau to track down his wife Laure.
