Max knows there's something wrong with her. As a child, she used to wander the streets of her neighbourhood at dusk, peering through the windows into the secret lives of people she dreamed of getting to know. And to open them. Just to look inside. Then Max learned to hide his anger. One Tuesday in September, everything changed. The King of Dogs, his great German shepherd with a fiery coat, died, taking with him the peace of the world. In his jeep, between the mountains of the Eastern Townships and the endless traffic jams on the Decarie motorway, Max tries to control the monster that the end of the King has unleashed. After the remains of her first victim are fed to the animals all winter long, she drags her lies through the city, drawing the invisible line between life and death with the point of a knife.
