La peur de l’eau (The Fear of Water) is a cime thriller set on Îles-de-la-Madeleine where the naked body of Rosalie Richard, 18, has been found, adorned with seashells, lying at the bottom of a cliff in Havre-aux-Maisons. She has been raped and she is the very first victim of a sordid and deeply troubling murder in the Magdalen Islands. Her death disrupts the quiet life of Sûreté du Québec police sergeant André Surpenant (Pierre-François Legendre) and the plot thickens when Detective Sergeant Gingras (Normand D’Amour) is parachuted in from Montréal and discovers there’s far more to life as we think it might be lived in the outposts of rural Québec.
