What happens in Anthracite?

In 1994, leader of the Écrins cult, Caleb Johannson (Cassetti), is swarmed by a SWAT team in front of his own home in the French Alps, which is filled with cult members. As the cops tell him he’s under arrest for the ritualistic killing of 17-year-old Roxane Vail, he starts bleeding profusely from the mouth. Inside, everyone’s dead. 

Now it’s 2024, and Ida (Schmidt), the leader of a web-sleuthing forum, is thrown into chaos when her reporter father, Solal (Barr), gets kidnapped. She knows he’s been investigating the Écrins cult — which everyone thinks ceased to exist years ago. Hoping to find clues of his whereabouts, Ida tracks her father’s phone location to Lévionna, where the murders took place. There, in her dad’s hotel room, she stumbles upon a photo of Jaro (Hatik) in a cult investigation file and tracks him down posthaste. Jaro, who’s had some brushes with the law, works at a ritzy ski resort in the French Alps as part of a work integration program — he’s had some brushes with the law. But Jaro seemingly knows nothing about Solal or his investigation… even though Ida finds out Johannson himself, now in a psychiatric hospital, wants to meet with Jaro — for reasons unknown. So Ida wrangles Jaro into the investigation to find out where her father is — and why so many people have begun to go missing in the cult’s hometown.
