On the shores of a high mountain lake, on the edge of a reserve off-limits to humans, a group of researchers is at work. Among them, a photographer spots something on one of the slopes that escapes everyone else's gaze. Strange signs accumulate, and a body is found. The photographer decides to stay up there, alone. A few months later, she is the one who, in turn, disappears.
With this tense novel, Sylvain Prudhomme delves into several themes close to his heart: the desire for intensity, the call of the wild, and the dream of an authentic life.
