The Mantis
Jeanne Deber, infamously known as “La Mante,” was a notorious serial killer who struck fear into France over two decades ago. Now, the police compel her to leave her seclusion to help catch an imitator of her crimes. She consents to assist, but with a single stipulation: she will only communicate with Damien Carrot, her son. Damien, who pursued a career in law enforcement due to his mother’s criminal past, has avoided any interaction with her since she was apprehended.
