Description

Abel Bac, a police officer, has been suspended from duty for unknown reasons.

Haunted by a recurring nightmare, he walks the streets of Paris hoping to lose himself in the city, but somehow, he always finds his way home.

Solitary by nature, he retreats from the extroversion of his new neighbour Elsa, and his former colleague Camille who is pained by her unrequited love for him.

All that gives Abel comfort are the ninety-four orchids which populate his small apartment.

In museums across Paris something strange is happening.

A white horse appears in the library of the Pompidou Centre.

In a small museum, stuffed wolves are displayed in fine garments drinking tea.

The police are baffled and Abel, who is somehow linked to it all, is becoming more and more unnerved.

Soon, the hidden darkness of his life will rise to the surface and lead him to Mila, the mysterious artist at the heart of this enigma. And it is not long before we discover that nothing about these events is coincidental.
