Adapted from the novel by Hannelore Cayre “La Daronne” / The Godmother, which was the winner of the Grand Prize for detective literature (French) in 2017. Patience Portefeux is a French-Arabic police translator who specialises in phone tapings for the anti-narcotics unit. One day, whilst listening to wanted drug dealers, she discovers that one of them is the son of a devoted nurse who takes care of her mother. She decides to protect him and finds herself in the middle of a drug network. After receiving a huge load of hash in her hands, she uses her insider knowledge and police resources to build her own drug trafficking network and earns the name Mama Weed.
