In the dark, narrow streets of a metropolis plunged into darkness, an elusive serial killer was wreaking havoc. Nicknamed 'Michael the Manipulator', his appearance was deceptive: blond-haired with green eyes, he appeared to be an ordinary, elegantly dressed man with an aura of charm and confidence. However, behind this seductive façade lay a twisted and malevolent mind.

At night, Mickaël would roam the dark alleys in search of his victims. His choice was methodical, targeting mainly ophelins, LGBTQ+ individuals and prostitutes, people who were often marginalised and invisible to society. His wealth and power allowed him to slip unnoticed into the darkest corners of the city.

Mickaël was a master of manipulation and poison. He knew how to slip into the lives of his victims, gaining their trust before methodically poisoning them. His weapon of choice was a rare and undetectable poison, a lethal liquid that he mixed to perfection into the food and drink of his targets.

Inspector Léa Moreau was in charge of the investigation into this series of chilling murders. Determined and perceptive, she had a hunch that appearances could be deceiving and that the killer must be someone far more complex than he appeared on the surface.

In the course of her investigation, Léa discovered strange links between the victims.
