Premise

Sister Thérèse is a police officer-turned nun. Her ex-husband Gérard Bonaventure, who serves as the local police lieutenant, often asks for Sister Thérèse's help in solving murder cases, and she does so with the full support of the convent's Mother Superior, who is a fan of crime fiction. In most episodes of the show, Sister Thérèse solves the crime using creative or unconventional methods, such as tracking counterfeit T-shirt sales or finding a cadaver while on a religious pilgrimage. The series also introduces plot twists, like Sister Thérèse having temporary amnesia and introducing her previously-unknown twin sister.

The series also focuses on the interaction between the convent and the police force that comes as a result of Sister Thérèse's cooperation with Gérard. Gérard's assistant Gabriel uses his visits to the convent as a means to see Sister Clémence and, later on, Sister Florence. Gérard's intern Brice similarly falls in love with one of the nuns, Sister Suzanne. Gérard's partner on the police force, Lucie, does not appreciate Sister Thérèse's interference in the team's crime-solving work.

The nuns also must deal with Jacky Roche, their scheming landlord, who wants to take back his property. To help in paying their rent, the nuns manufacture duvets, which they then sell on the website www.soeurtherese.com. Most episodes end with a running gag in which Sister Thérèse refuses to continue cooperating with Gérard and Gérard misidentifies her website as soeurtherese .fr.
