The story : While on an excursion in the Pyrenees mountains with their college professor, Antoine and Claire have a terrible accident in which she loses the use of her legs. In order to put this tragic past behind them, Antoine and Claire decide to go their separate ways. Yet 15 years later the macabre and apparently ritualistic death of a young girl in the Pyrenees hauntingly recalls what Claire and Antoine experienced.

They are reunited by the need to solve this terrible crime, Antoine having become an investigator specializing in sects. They must also work with the bereaved father of the young girl – none other than the professor whom they hold responsible for their accident years earlier, Raphaël Sormand.

A graphic novel has been published, based on the TV series, story by Jacques Mazeau, drawings by Pierre Wachs, edited by Glenat.
