In 2025 in Paris, police lieutenant David Hoffman investigates the circumstances behind the body of a young girl named Manon, who was ressurected after a car crash and now has scars around her eyes. Hoffman finds a link between the murder and smuggler Dimitri Nicolov, who is blamed by the lieutenant for the death of Hoffman's wife.
Hoffman's investigation leads him to a state-of-the-art plastic surgery clinic whose goal is to go beyond skin and flesh to shape memory and identity.
