The Embers

In 1995. Lidia (Mouna Soualem), an ambitious young detective, is sent to the small town of Péranne in the hinterland of the French Riviera to investigate the brutal murder of an imam, found scalped in his mosque. She must team up with Jean (Olivier Rabourdin), a disillusioned local cop haunted by his memories of the Algerian war.

Twenty-five years later, Lidia is at the height of a seemingly impeccable career, but Jean’s sudden disappearance and a series of gruesome murders eerily similar t

o the 1995 case prompt Lidia to return to Péranne. The past, thought to be buried forever, resurfaces...

The series is set in a fictional town outside Marseille, caught between sun-drenched fields and suburban sprawl.
