Content : Following a brutal assault, Jérôme ends up in hospital, convinced that his life is still in danger.
A psychological thriller masterfully crafted, building suspense all the way to the final twist.

A few gunshots turn the life of 14-year-old Jérôme upside down. A bullet pierces his abdomen, and his parents’ car crashes on the motorway. The teenager claims to have no idea who his attackers are, yet he feels responsible for the tragedy. Placed with a foster family, he forms a bond with their daughter, Zoé. As the sole surviving witness, he fears for his life. The police make little progress, but the disappearance of another teenager reignites the investigation. With the help of his psychiatrist, Jérôme must confront a terrifying truth.
