District 31
Close CloseDistrict 31
Two detectives are at the heart of the first season’s intrigues: Nadine Legrand (Magalie Lépine-Blondeau) and Patrick Bissonnette (Vincent-Guillaume Otis). During those 120 episodes, Nadine, Patrick and their colleagues find their footing in their new work place: District 31. After years of keeping his detectives at the headquarters, the Montreal PD has decided to reassign them to neighbourhood precincts in an effort to get closer to the population.
Every week, the team will face the wide variety of mysteries and criminal intrigues the city can spit out: kidnapping, break-ins, murder, domestic violence, sex crimes, revenge, drug deals, terrorism, financial crimes, etc. Viewers will also follow the ups and downs of the team’s personal lives, with families and lovers feeling the backlash of this demanding line of work.
