Rosalie Richard is found, murdered and raped, at the foot of a cliff in the Magdalen Islands. The sordid crime wreaks havoc on the quiet life of Sergeant André Surprenant of the local Sûreté du Québec detachment. While the shy and quiet Surprenant starts the hunt for the killer, his marriage is crumbling, his teenage daughter rejects him, his psychologist is trying to help him overcome his phobias, and the Sûreté is trying to push him aside by bringing in an officer from Montreal, Detective Gingras, to lead the investigation.
