Synopsis:

Vincent and Rebecca, just turned 18, meet at a cybercafe, and it is love at first sight. Two months later, Vincent's dead body is fished out of the Rhone River, and Rebecca cannot be found at all. It turns out that Rebecca and Vincent had plunged recklessly into the world of prostitution, and that Inspector Cagan and his colleague Mangin are seeking to understand and reconstruct what happened to them. In the course of his investigation, Cagan discovers that Vincent was a prostitute, securing clients via the Internet. And Rebecca, far from wanting him to change, was attracted to the easy money and pushed him further in that direction. Wanting to share in his experiences, Rebecca started to accompany him on the job. Eventually, they ended up prostituting themselves together. Questioning Vincent's clients and Rebecca's mother, the inspector watches as the corpses start to pile up, and he is forced to get more deeply involved in order to solve the murders and the mystery of Rebecca's disappearance.

Vincent and Rebecca have been in love with each other ever since they exchanged glances in an Internet café. They are just barely 18 years old and live a carefree life. But two months later Vincent's body is found in the Rhone brutally beaten, and Rebecca disappears soon after. The investigation of the case is taken up by the 48-year-old policeman from Villeurbanne, Hervé Cagan. He and his colleague, Karine Mangin, try to retrace the chaotic trail of both youngsters as quickly as possible. After bringing to light the young man's last hours, he is finally able to solve the case. What he finds shocks him to the core, and he stands before a fundamental decision that could completely change his view on life.

Both detectives on a sickening murder case struggle with being alone and childless in their 40s. As they investigate the young man found beaten and strangled to death, platonic friends Karine and Herve unravel a love story between Vincent, and Rebecca a high school girl. The teenage lovers quickly plunged into the kind of amour fou the flics fear to chance for themselves. Rebecca is missing, and unknown to her, the boy was a homosexual Internet hustler. The ordinarily blasé male investigator is appalled to find that on-line dating is a world the sexy Karine knows well. Is Rebecca the killer, another victim or ?
