To his astonishment, she did. The next morning, Kali was missing, and no one knew where she was. The last person seen with her was Laurent, making him the prime suspect in her disappearance. As accusations and charges mount against him, Laurent must navigate a legal and social minefield to clear his name. But the question remains... where is Kali?

As Yves scrutinizes Hazel's life, her relationship with her stepfather, and the eerie similarities between her fiction and reality, questions begin to arise. Is Hazel the brilliant but twisted mastermind behind the crime, or is she the victim of a sinister frame-up?
