On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the
High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official De Roller is a calculating man with flawless manners. His somewhat broad
perception of his role brings him to navigate the high end
’establishment’ as well as shady venues where he mingles with the
locals.
Especially since a persistent rumor has been going around: the sighting
of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French
nuclear testing.
