Black Butterflies Plot/Synopsis

The official synopsis of the series reads, “Low on the inspiration for his second book, a gloomy novelist agrees to write a memoir for a dying man — and swiftly becomes part of his bloodstained past.” Adrien Winckler is a struggling novelist who works as a ghostwriter to make ends meet.

At the dusk of his life, Albert Desiderio, a humble retired man, decides to hire Adrien to write his memoirs. But the amazing love story Albert shared with Solange during the 70s turned out to be the confession of a serial killer couple. Between fascination and repulsion, Adrien must face the facts – this novel has everything to be good, so why not make it his own? But the writer discovers that Albert did not choose him by chance.
