Plot Synopsis

As part of Codename: Antigone 34, a new section of law enforcement set up to fight crime in France, a cop, a disbarred doctor, and a non-conformist psycho-criminologist join forces to overcome common threats and ordinary crimes that have much higher stakes. Under the pressure of an invisible and powerful enemy, Lea Hippolyte, a police commissioner and martial arts specialist joins forces with psycho-criminologist Helene and Victor, a marginal doctor wrongly disbarred and driven to find the truth about his daugther's death. Each one-hour episode features a different crime, including: the murders of two med students, as Lea looks for a link between the killings while determining whether the first victim's father, a disgraced doctor named Victor, is withholding information; a video-game programmer, who is pronounced missing by his wife and whose credit card is being used by a young gypsy boy; a perpetrator who gravely injures Lea's young partner and who has forged documents, leading Lea on a hunt to uncover a criminal operation that produces fake IDs to illegal immigrants; a ship captain, who was murdered prior to a break-in and whose body was discovered in the freezer of a fish warehouse; a single mother, who appears to be the target of a contracted hit by her ex-husband; and an escort girl, who is found dead after Victor agrees to operate on her in exchange for information about his daughter. ANTIGONE 34 was filmed in Montpellier in the south of France. Broadcast in French with English subtitles, MHz Worldview aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT, showing back-to-back episodes on three consecutive Tuesdays.
