Plot
In the heart of Paris, a macabre dance of death unfolds, commanded by an elusive psychopath. This new reign of terror mirrors the chilling work of Jeanne Deber, notoriously remembered as "The Mantis," a formidable serial killer who held the country in the icy grip of fear two decades ago. As the city teeters on the edge, the police, faced with a daunting task, turn to the unlikely expertise of The Mantis herself.
Despite spending years in isolated captivity, Jeanne Deber is lured back into the twisted world of killers with a single condition: she will only liaise with Detective Damien Carrot, her estranged son who severed ties with her years ago. Cornered by his grim past and the urgent need to stop a killer, Damien finds himself reluctantly stepping into this deadly game of cat and mouse.
As the spectral menace of a serial killer looms over Paris, ready to strike at any moment, the mother-son duo must navigate the treacherous labyrinth of their shared past and the chilling echoes of The Mantis' legacy. The hunt is on, and the city waits with bated breath, poised on the precipice of a killer's next move.
