The Mysterious Disappearances In the small town of Saint-Aubin, teenagers are disappearing without a trace, creating an atmosphere of fear and mystery. Detective Samuel Durand is called to investigate and quickly discovers that these disappearances may be linked to occult activities. By exploring different locations marked by a young boy named Antoine, Samuel finds alchemical symbols and troubling clues.
First Discoveries With the help of Dr. Martin, an expert in symbolism, Samuel deciphers the symbols and discovers a coded map indicating specific locations in the town. Each visited location reveals more clues about a secret organization called the Brotherhood of the Shadow. Samuel and the police team monitor these places, finding evidence of dark rituals.
The Investigation Intensifies Samuel and his allies continue their investigation, exploring an old mansion and an abandoned warehouse where they find ritual altars and incriminating documents. Arrests begin, but the threat of the Brotherhood persists. Samuel discovers that an ancient hidden sanctuary in the forest might be the center of their activities.
