Malaïka, a young Congolese woman studying psychoanalysis in Switzerland, finds her life turned upside down during a seminar in Vienna.

 

Coming from a wealthy family, her world suddenly collapses when she learns that her father, an influential man, is actively sought by Interpol following the collapse of a cobalt mine in the Congo. Until now, the young woman has been entrenched behind a carefree life, but now she must face the unthinkable. Deprived, penniless, alone, hunted, she will forge a new identity while investigating her father’s misdeeds. False pretences, buried secrets, betrayals, murders, Malaïka is not at the end of her surprises.
