The frame is there. The wall is empty. The world is about to change.

The Story: Paris, August 21, 1911. A quiet Monday morning at the Louvre transforms into the scandal of the century. Commissioner Renard, a man of cold logic and old-world grit, arrives at the Salon Carré to find nothing but four iron pegs and a ghost of a masterpiece. The Mona Lisa is gone.

In this series premiere, follow Renard as he steps into the silent halls of the Louvre to investigate a crime that shouldn't have been possible. How do you find a shadow in the City of Light?
