Plot

A young and headstrong policewoman clashes with her superiors in Paris and is transferred to a small town. There she is assigned to secretarial work and given an unimportant investigation in the eyes of the local chief of police. The investigation leads her to uncover a network of child prostitution run by the most important family of the town. She struggles with the chief of police and the prosecutor to indict the members of the family but they refuse to back her and move forward against such powerful people. She is forced to resign from the police and the film ends with her in a taxi with her bags on the way to the train station.
