Murderous madness in the middle of the French Pyrenees! Saint-Martin-de-Comminges is a small town in the French Pyrenees, where winters are harsh and nothing much ever happens. Until the hydroelectric workers find the headless, partially skinned corpse of a horse one winter morning, hanging from the supporting mast of the cable car that is the only access route to the site. This is no ordinary horse - it belongs to local tycoon Eric Lombard. Martin Servaz, the 40-year-old commander of the Toulouse regional crime unit, is angry that he has been called away from investigating the brutal murder of a homeless man to take on the strangest case of his career.
At the same time, psychologist Diane Berg arrives at the nearby Wargnier Institute, which specialises in extremely dangerous and mentally ill killers, and gradually discovers that the director of the institute is using unorthodox methods. Detective Servaz soon identifies DNA on the horse's corpse that belongs to one of the inmates of the Wargnier Institute. However, the institution is so secure that it is impossible for any of the inmates to get out. And a few days later, the first dead human body is found. Martin Servaz and his colleague Irene Ziegler must use all their skills to solve a terrifying mystery...
