Synopsis

They’re dancing. She’s Léa, a high school student. His name is Kurt. He has a strange accent and several cars. They recently met in the South of France, at the end of the summer holidays. When Léa goes back to her home in the mountains of Savoy, Kurt comes to see her regularly. Along the route from the Mediterranean to Savoy, a series of burglaries, muggings, rapes and inexplicable murders occur.

The French police investigate. As the evidence slowly fits together, it leads to the trail of a dangerous Italian criminal on the run…
