And flight departed from Dubai and headed to Paris and crashes in the Haute-Savoie Alps. Nobody survives. The BEA is called to investigate what happened and, to shed light on the mystery, chooses its best man, the young autistic Mathieu Vasseur (married to his colleague Noémie). In truth, Mathieu takes over the job when Victor Pollock, his supervisor, mysteriously disappears during the investigation into the black box. Initially, the man thinks that a terrorist Islamic. But the theory doesn’t convince him. He therefore thinks of a technical issue and, to support this thesis, he steals documents from his wife’s computer (destroying his marriage). Then the third hypothesis, which seems to be the one most supported by the evidence: a hacking of the aircraft’s computer networks. Mathieu believes that Xavier Renaud, director of Pegase Security, a company that supplies computer systems to airlines, conspired with Victor Pollock to hide the truth and defend the company. Supporting Vasseur in her investigations is the journalist Caroline Delmas who, however, wants more substantial evidence before writing about it. But is the black box really telling the truth? Or has it rather been tampered with, so as to tell an alternative truth, as Mathieu hypothesizes? Finding out will cost him his life.
