Geschichte
Maddy Etcheban, a dedicated police officer in Bayonne, faces an unprecedented challenge when her teenage son Clément goes missing from their home one morning. Clément's autism makes him particularly vulnerable, and Maddy fears the worst as she remembers his fascination with a nearby construction site where several teenagers have already drowned tragically. As time ticks away and hope fades, Maddy begins to question whether Clément's disappearance is linked to her own past mistakes as a mother. The search for her son forces Maddy to confront not only her guilt but also the dark truths hidden beneath the surface of their seemingly peaceful town.
