S01E01 Christine (The Victim)
In the small north eastern town of Mauberge in France, Christine is violently assaulted on her way to work early one morning.
In 2003, the mayor of a small town on the Sambre is horrified to learn one of her employees has been raped. She cajoles the victim into attending a press conference.
Late 80’s in Northern France, women are being sexually assaulted along the same road by the Samber river – with attacks taking place early mornings and in a similar style. The police fail to get to grips with the extent of these assaults or make a connection between the cases. The justice system is overwhelmed by the accumulating cases. It will take 30 years to catch a man, who never stopped attacking women and is responsible for at least 54 cases of rape or sexual assault.
