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.
Winter 2012. Etienne Winckler, a detective specialising in cold cases, is handed the old 'Sambre rapist' case to see if it can be closed. As he pours over files at the local police archives he discovers more victims - including Christine.
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.
