Léa Moreau, the detective in charge of investigating the murders perpetrated by "Mickaël the Manipulator", immersed herself in the stories of each victim. The files piled up in front of her, each telling of a shattered life, a life marked by marginalisation and pain. She knew there was something deeper that connected them, something that at first sight eluded her.
As she delved into the details of each life, Léa discovered a common thread: the presence of the community centre run by Father Antoine. She went to the site, determined to learn more about this man and how he had influenced the lives of these victims.
The centre was a warm and welcoming place, despite its location in an unfrequented area. Léa was greeted by Father Antoine, a man of humble appearance but imbued with an aura of benevolence. Sitting in his modest office, he shared with her the memories he had of each victim. Each had found refuge in this centre, a space where they could be themselves without judgement.
Léa noticed that Father Antoine had a deep empathy for marginalised people, perhaps because of his own mysterious past. He had been a priest for many years, dedicated to helping those who were often left behind. She decided to dig deeper into his past and discovered that he himself had gone through a dark period in his youth, which seemed to have led him to dedicate his life to helping others.
