Abel, a brilliant biathlete, is found dead at the shouting range. Awa, a young captain from a nearby city, is placed on the case to work with lieutenant Salvi, of the local gendarmerie.
The investigators identify another victim of sexual harassment, Lena. She had confided to Abel the morning he was killed. Jean, the team's coach, is suspected.
Jean, suspect #1, is found dead in a refrigerated room. Are the two murders related? Manon was in a relationship with both Abel and Benoit. Was that the reason for the rivalry between the two brothers?
The truth about Abel's sexuality brings a new twist to the investigation. The murder weapon is discovered at the home of Frederik, his lover. Frederik is taken into custody, and the case seems closed, but one detail still bothers Sissako.
