When justice falters, obsession becomes the only weapon.

A dark procedural thriller about institutional failure and personal obsession, where a young cop's frustration with the legal system drives him into morally murky vigilantism.
When two girls go missing, Paul Chartier, an impulsive young police recruit, is assigned to “Maldoror”. This secret unit has been set up to monitor a dangerous sex offender. When the operation fails, fed up with the limits of the legal system, Chartier embarks on a solitary hunt to bring down the culprits.
