When Ariane Decours was fifteen, her life descended into horror. On a beautiful summer afternoon, a man attempted to rape her and she stabbed him to death fifteen times. If her father had not accused himself of the crime, she would probably never have become the successful lawyer that she is today, specialised in lost causes. <p/>Jacques Rémy, a suspected serial killer, is her client. As his defendant, she finds herself confronted with a all too well known adversary, her husband, with whom she is in the process of divorce. A professional and personal duel, from which she will arise victorious. <p/>When her assistant doesn't show up at school to pick up her seven year-old son, Ariane fears the worst, and she is right. Once again her life collapses into horror, obliging her to explore the terrifying dark corners of her past.
