Vanished by the Lake

Lise Stocker, head of the Paris Crime Bureau, returns to her hometown to care for her sick mother. Upon her return, she hears that local teenager, Chloe, has vanished during a local celebration. The mystery disappearance ignites old memories for Lise - fifteen years ago her two best friends, Ana and Marion, disappeared during the very same event. Is there a connection between the two incidents?

The primary suspect in Chloe's disappearance is on the run. Determined to stop history from repeating itself, Lise joins forces with the local police, led by Detective Clovis, to help solve the case.

Remi Bouchard is arrested over Chloe’s disappearance, just like he was fifteen years ago. Lise is not sure he is guilty, especially when he informs her that the former prosecutorial investigation against him was biased and certain elements were left out. The investigator at that time was none other than Lise's own father, who has since committed suicide. Who is lying and who is telling the truth?

Several locals become suspects in the case. Clovis and Lise's inquiries appear to indicate that Remi Bouchard is telling the truth and the investigation carried out 15 years earlier was falsified.

A major breakthrough in the case occurs and it becomes apparent that the same perpetrator is to blame as 15 years earlier. Remi Bouchard's alibi is solid and Clovis is obliged to release him.

Suspicions soon points to Chloe's former teacher, Nicolas Mazaud. Evidence against Mazaud, who also taught Ana, Marion and Lise is getting stronger and stronger. Was Clovis wrong to release Remi Bouchard who appears to be a step ahead of everyone in solving the mystery puzzle? And does a letter of confession really mean Lise and Clovis have found the culprit?
