Agnès Le Roux, a 29-year-old, caught in a casino war, seeks freedom from Palais de la Méditerranée's legacy. Seduced by Maurice Agnelet, she vanishes after selling Ruhl shares.

Renée Le Roux tries to find out what happened to her daughter, recruiting a private detective who discovers that Maurice Agnelet's alibi was false, leading to the case being reopened.

In March 2014, 76-year-old Maurice Agnelet, still supported by his youngest son Thomas, insists on his innocence; Guillaume, who was following the trial, remains absent.
