The body of a young woman was found horribly mutilated in Norferville, a small mining town in Quebec's far north. The victim is French, and her name is Morgane Schaffran. Her father Teddy is a criminologist working for his own agency in Lyon. He flies to Norferville to find out what happened.
There he meets Léonie Rock, a major crimes lieutenant in Baie-Comeau. She was chosen to investigate because she grew up in Norferville. As a mixed-race woman, she knows the tensions that can exist between whites and natives, and the difficult life led by the Innu.
In a hostile and freezing environment, the two of them will do justice to Morgane, and to the dozens of Innu, Micmac, Inuit, and Cree women she tried to save.
