Spoilers ahead

In the remote northern region of France, a tragic event unfolds as an 11-year-old girl is brutally raped and murdered while returning home from the school bus to her parents’ secluded farm in Bailleul. Lieutenant Pharaon de Winter, haunted by the loss of his partner and child in a devastating accident, grapples with intense feelings of horror and revulsion upon being assigned to this heart-wrenching case.

Seeking solace during a weekend getaway, Pharaon reluctantly agrees to join his kind neighbor Domino and her partner Joseph, a bus driver. Their outing to the seaside and a local restaurant only highlights Pharaon’s discomfort, as he finds Joseph to be both rude and ignorant of the trauma weighing on him.
