What it’s about. The President of the French Republic, visiting Saint-Etienne in the Loire, in a striking plant dies, victim of a bomb attack.

But what few people know is that the leader of the government knows more things he claimed. This state causes lie back to business Kapita Simon, a former communications adviser (spin doctor) of the late president. Anxious to preserve the honor of his deceased friend and some form of political ethics, the man of the shadows has now set a goal: to find a candidate who will be able to beat Deleuvre.
