Saint-Lambert-des-Bois. Saturday, February 26, 2012, it is 11 p.m., a man calls the police. His name: François Darcy. Half-conscious, he explains that while he was driving with his wife, following a pressing need, he stopped and got out of his car. That is when a stranger allegedly shot him in the back. François fainted and when he came to, his car was burning with his wife inside. As soon as help arrived, François Darcy, 46 years old, 2 meters tall and 140 kilos, was taken to the hospital. The bullet was removed from his left shoulder blade. The car melted… And with it, the body of Sylvie, his wife and mother of his two children. The husband is devastated, especially since the tragedy occurs while the couple was spending a romantic weekend in the Chevreuse Valley to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. Even though he was shot, the police doubt the surprising story given by Darcy. In this quiet town, it is difficult to imagine such an ambush. And then the autopsy is formal: Sylvie was already dead when the fire broke out. Worse: François Darcy has gunpowder residue on his hands as well as traces of vegetable oil, a fire accelerator. The icing on the cake: despite appearances, relations within the couple were very tense. Sylvie, who was boiling the pot, was even considering leaving her husband. Could François Darcy have meticulously prepared a breathtaking scenario to eliminate his wife: kill his wife, and pretend to be a victim by shooting himself? The hypothesis is attractive, but there is one problem: the investigators combed the crime scene, but they never found a weapon... And above all, how could the alleged perpetrator have shot himself in the back? Either François Darcy is a miracle victim, or they are dealing with a demonic murderer... Productions Tony Comiti.
