Subtle and masterful, this thriller combines a clear-eyed meditation on family relationships with the most mind-bending twists and turns.

Manon makes over corpses, Ariel makes over cars. She’s a mortician, he’s a delinquent. They are brother and sister. One day, one of Ariel’s schemes goes wrong, and Manon finds herself an unwilling accomplice. When the most gruesome murders begin piling up around them, tracing a bloody trail to a satanic sect, Police Captain Raynal takes an interest in their case. Thus begins a hunt that will blur the lines between allies and predators and put blood ties to the test.
