Shafted: the plot
Set in France, precisely in Paris, the plot of the TV series “Shafted” focuses on the adventures of a group of 4 friends united by a very strong bond born several years ago. In the story, the romantic and professional lives of the co-protagonists are turned upside down by the women who revolve around them. Cédric, Tom, Jérémie and Tonio struggle to find their place and experience love in a society that questions patriarchy and slowly deprives them of their privileges.
