Plot
Marc Pastor’s bestseller finally comes to the big screen. Victor can’t understand why he ever became a social worker: him, who hates people and closes his house up under lock and key. With such an unsociable character, it’s impossible to get over his breakup with Irene, an issue that concerns him… as much as a series of mysterious events ravaging the city that will force Victor to become an unexpected hero.
