Brittany is seen by some as the end of the world. Like homicide inspector Georges Dupin, who has been relocated there from Paris. With his fish allergy and fear of the ocean, he feels like, well, a fish out of water - Fortunately, his charm and warmth help him crack the shell of the most silent Bretons - and win over his new colleagues, a jokester, a rookie and a dependable girl Friday. Dupin is surprised by how imaginative the murders are in Brittany. A real and a fake Gauguin take Dupin back to the 19th century - a journalist bites off more than she can chew of a deadly secret - a peaceful island will do anything to keep a "vacation paradise" off of it - an eccentric former actress finds a body which disappears into thin air...myths of a sunken city in the sea, seemingly connected to the murder of a young couple - At least the rugged, majestic landscapes of Brittany provide an invigorating backdrop to Dupin's adventures.
