At the Marseille Anti-Narcotics Office, the clandestine cameras of Operation Trident: "Is it off-camera or on-camera?"

Marseille, March 2023. Police officers from the Marseille branch of the Anti-Narcotics Office (Ofast) organize a "controlled delivery" of cocaine in the hope of tracing Mohamed "Mimo" Djeha, a local drug lord on the run since 2018. The drugs come from Colombia, and informants are recruited to organize the logistics of the operation, dubbed "Trident." Their role: to use their contacts to bait "Mimo's" network on behalf of the police, who won't miss a beat of the negotiations and then the transaction. Once the traffickers are identified and hooked, all that remains is to trigger a wave of arrests.

To follow the events from a distance, the investigators have an asset: Hervé (not his real name).

Hervé therefore gets busy, installs his devices, and actively participates in the surveillance operations.
