Darius is the leader of a police unit called “The Invisibles” which specializes in solving John and Jane Doe cases – bodies found with no identity, no story, no past. His team includes the big-hearted and sardonic Marijo (Nathalie Cerda, Spiral, Emily in Paris); former boxing champion Ben (Quentin Faure, Borgia); brilliant, bourgeoise rookie Duchess (Déborah Krey, The Art of Crime) and reconstruction specialist Angie (Cécile Rebboah, How Mom Turned to Armed Robbery). Their mission? Identify the bodies before they end up in an anonymous mass grave – and stop the killers before they get away with it. The team’s task is complicated by the fact that they only have seven days to identify the body and complete their investigation for each case – let the countdown begin!
