Plot summary
The accountant Lucino is found dead, and the case goes to two detectives who work nothing alike. Detective Carlos Gomez has just come from Paris and follows procedure; Detective Maxime Tavarès does not. Commissaire Cagnoty has put them together. Gomez finds a four-leaf clover in the dead man's nose, and the pair search for Lucino's daughter, Paulina, a stripper, and for whoever might have killed her father. Two criminals waiting outside her building are arrested. Paulina asks them for protection and for a painting of her mother that hangs in her father's apartment. Internal Affairs, meanwhile, presses Tavarès about his partner, who keeps an expensive house and has a wife, two sons and a sister, Gina.
