There’s been a series of tagging happening at Gabriel Agreste stores all throughout Paris. Locals have been calling the tagger Chat Noir, after the black cat paw being signed next to each one. When Marinette Dupain-Cheng, an intern looking to make it big in the fashion industry, falls into the investigation, she will do anything to find the culprit and finally earn her spot after 8 years working for Mr. Agreste. But when Gabriel Agreste’s son, Adrien Agreste, starts to make her question her actions, what will she do? Will she turn in Chat Noir, at the risk of him losing his status, or will she form a friendship, and possibly more, that will encourage her to stop looking through rose-colored glasses?
