A Haitian woman arrives at the office of Leduc Detective and announces that she is Aime's sister, her father's illegitimate daughter. Aime is thrilled. A virtual orphan since her mother's disappearance and her father's death, she has always wanted a sister. Her partner, Ren, is wary of this stranger, but Aime embraces her and soon finds herself involved in murky Haitian politics leading to murder. The setting is the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank of the Seine, in the old university district of Paris.
