After his graduation from the police academy, Antoine (Jalil Lespert) is delighted when his request for assignment in Paris is granted. While his wife remains in Normandy, Antoine finds a place in town and starts work in the criminal unit run by Inspector Caroline Vaudieu (Nathalie Baye) who immediately takes him under her wing. When tragedy happens Vaudieu has to fight the memories that she used to drown in alcohol. Revenge is small comfort.

The Young Lieutenant is not a standard film noir. Beauvois's subtle and impressionistic mise-en-scene explores the personalities inside the police station more than the crime itself. As shown in his acclaimed earlier films ( Nord ; N'oublie pas que tu vas mourir - Cannes Jury Prize) Beauvois is exceptionally skilled at orchestrating ensemble casts; the interplay between Lespert, Baye and their fellow cops Roschdy Zem, Antoine Chappey and Xavier Beauvois himself feels both precise and remarkably natural. The police unit becomes a refuge for each of these characters, a place for them to let down their guard, until tragedy strikes and reconfigures all their relationships.

警察學堂畢業後，安東（查利．李柏飾）很高興他要求派往巴黎警區工作的申請獲批准。於是，他把妻子留在諾曼第，自己前往巴黎，開始在重案組工作。擔任隊長的女督察嘉露蓮（妮妲莉．比爾飾）剛克服了酗酒的問題，重新回到警隊，她即時喜歡上這名充滿幹勁的年輕人，對他特別關照。如果她的兒子沒有死去，他的年齡應該和安東的一樣 ……

《新進警察》並非一般的黑色電影，導演沙維耶．保華 ? 重以輕描淡寫和不涉及事實或細節的手法來探討在警署內工作的人物的性格多過於描寫罪案本身。
