When a postman discovers the naked body of a young girl by a river in a French village, an investigation begins into her rape and murder. Three suspects emerge, but no arrests follow due to lack of evidence. The story exposes the incompetence of provincial judicial and police systems as the case grows cold and the truth remains buried—until guilt begins to haunt someone in unexpected ways.
