The premise

Old-school police detective Pierre Niemans and his former student Camille Delaunay tackle complex, brutal murder cases.

Horror Vault's take

Hardened detective Pierre Niemans and his sharper-than-expected former student Camille Delaunay are thrown together to investigate murders that go far beyond ordinary crime. Each case pulls them deeper into shadowy cults, ritualistic killings, and conspiracies that powerful people will do anything to keep buried. The series blends procedural grit with an undercurrent of dark, occult-tinged menace that keeps the tension relentlessly high.
