XIII
Created by David Wolkove, Philippe Lyon
On Canal+
A high-stakes conspiracy thriller built on amnesia and mistaken identity, where a hunted man must uncover who he is while evading forces that want him dead.
The first female US President Sally Sheridan is shot dead by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. Her assassin narrowly escapes the scene with his life, national security hot on his heels - or so it seems. Three months later, an elderly couple discover the body of a wounded man in a tree, wearing a parachute. The young man cannot remember the slightest thing about his own identity.
