The historic Sentier district was once filled with fashionable mansions but is now a nearly treeless neighborhood housing the “rag” trade, Paris’s Silicon Valley, and sleazy night clubs. Aimée is drawn to the area when a woman, just released from prison, tells her that she knew Aimée’s long vanished mother. To Aimée’s astonishment and horror, she learns that they were in prison together, that Aimee’s mother was a member of a notorious 1970s Red terrorist gang.
