Jeanne Deber (Carole Bouquet), also known as “The Mantis”, is a famous serial killer who terrorized France more than 25 years ago. She is forced by the police to come out of solitary confinement and hunt down her copycat. She agrees to collaborate with the police under one condition: to have only one interlocutor, her son Damien Carrot (Fred Testot), who has become a cop to redeem his mother’s crimes and has refused all contact with her since her arrest.
