Circle

From a lost psychiatric clinic in the mountains, where the most dangerous psychopaths, maniacs, and serial killers are kept, the most dangerous of them all – Julian Girtman – has escaped. For a year and a half, he made no indication of his whereabouts. But one day, in the small elite town of Marsac in southwestern France, an unknown criminal brutally and elaborately kills a teacher at the local high school. All evidence points to Girtman's involvement in this nightmare, with his individual style evident in everything. However, Major Servas, who is investigating this murder, gradually begins to suspect that the evidence pointing to Girtman is merely a fiction, a well-directed dark performance aimed at confusing him, Marten Servas, and leading him down a false trail. But who is staging this performance? Is it Girtman himself, who has always been drawn to risky games, or is someone skillfully imitating the maniac?..
