Paris, 1999. At the height of the dot-com boom, one of the founders of a startup poised for a brilliant future is found dead, his head resting on his desk.

Everything points to natural causes. Guillaume worked too much, slept too little, and had a weak heart. Yet around him, ambition, affairs and millions at stake give everyone reason to doubt. The investigators follow one clue after another. They all seem to point to the same man. But there is nothing to prove that a crime was ever committed.

Twenty years later, another death brings the case back to life.

This time, the evidence seems overwhelming. But can you trust a story simply because every fact it contains is true?

What if the perfect crime isn't the one that leaves no trace, but the one that leaves exactly the right ones?
