Official Synopsis
Malik Dahmani, a brilliant but hot-headed police captain from the Paris region, who, after exposing police brutality, is forced to go into hiding in the Cévennes mountains to lay low. But stuck in this Cévennes valley, which is too peaceful for his liking, as if time had stopped... Malik is going round in circles and can only think about going home. Then a body is discovered in the forest. Our cop finds himself having to investigate alongside Gaëlle, a local police lieutenant, who, like the inhabitants of this remote area, seems keen to preserve its secrets.
