Synopsis

[edit]

Furies follows Lyna, a student "yearning for the simplicity of a normal life" with her boyfriend Elie, a police officer.[2] Her parents are criminals, however, and when they are gunned down in a mob-related attack, Lyna goes to jail for refusing to tell the police who killed them. Upon release, she starts a search for the killers, which leads her to Selma, a.k.a. the Fury, who wants to recruit Lyna to follow in her footsteps.[3] It is the job of the Fury to keep the peace among Paris's six major crime families.[4]
