The Strangler centers on ÔEmile, a handsome young man targeting women he believes are too depressed to go on living. As multiple women fall to ÔEmile's suffocating white scarf, inspector Simon Dangret, the detective assigned to track down the killer, resorts to seriously unorthodox and even unethical methods to get his man with the assistance of Anna, a beautiful woman who believes herself to be a potential victim.
