Desecrated graves, dead bodies dug up and left arranged in show-homes... Every time, the same ritual: a woman, a man, a teenager, who weren't related but who form a macabre family. Amid the bodies a photo of Paul Maisonneuve is placed, a Crime Squad legend in the North of France, now retired but forced to return to duty. Who is digging up the bodies? Who is leaving them in these show-homes and why?
Young female detective Sandra Winckler, in charge of the case, must work with Paul to find out who is behind these disturbing human tableaus. During her investigation, she will have to delve into Paul's past, always sensing that he is hiding something. Because that's where the truth must lie: somewhere in Paul's past. For the detective and the ex-cop, life will never be the same... For in the shadows is a man who will stop at nothing to satisfy his thirst for a long and drawn-out revenge...
