Dominique Vasson wanders along a lonely wind-swept beach, trying to make sense of her life and hopefully find a new direction. Later, on the train, she sees a newspaper headline of what appears to be targeted deaths of young men involved in violent street crime. Prominent drug dealers suffer the same fate; it looks clear these are linked attacks by a vigilante. Bored and lonely since the only woman she really loved has moved to the US with a beautiful, talented young woman, Dominique, decides to unravel the mystery and find who this ruthless killer is. What she finds comes as a huge shock and puts her at risk, especially when she gets far closer than she ever imagined and she finds herself enmeshed in issues of race, guilt and atonement.
