Chantal is the newly appointed chief inspector at the Loveringem police station. Initially she faces condescending or abrasive behaviour from male colleagues and community leaders. The station is attached to the town hall where Mayor Wim often checks in on their investigations. At first, her second-in-charge, Rik, believes she will be a failure. Rik becomes more accommodating after Chantal out-smarts her rival detective, Johnny. Chantal and her daughter Emma make friends with their truck driver, neighbour Arne. Rik's friend Muze runs Café de Miserie, which often holds Cowboy-themed events. Chantal intends to sit for a Commissioner's exam, move to Brussels for training and become a chief of police. Chantal, Rik and her squad continue to solve various cases despite misdirection or interference from Johnny. One of her cases has Emma's class taken hostage in the town hall by Bjorn. Bjorn is Emma's teacher Els' brother, who attempts to discredit an influential businessman, Roland.
Both Chantal and Johnny sit the Commissioner's exam, but only Chantal passes. However, she decides to remain in Loveringem due to Emma's friendships with her classmates. During season two Chantal is investigated by Committee P to determine whether her conduct was professional during the town hall hostage case.
