Iliass Dennoune

Since his parents' divorce, Pieter has lived a low-profile life during the day as an unathletic and unremarkable schoolboy. But unbeknown to his overanxious mother, Pieter sneaks outside at night to do incredibly cool parkour jumps in another neighbourhood, along with his parkour mentor and best friend Sefu. When Pieter’s mother - a local police officer - becomes overloaded with work thanks to the rising crime rate, Pieter decides to use his secret talent to become Hoodie: a mysterious hero who protects the Brussels neighbourhood 'Vrijbeek', with the help of three other local youths who have discovered his secret. The loner suddenly has three friends and Team Hoodie is born...

In the turbulent 1980s, friends Marc and Franky, and his sister Vicky, move to Brussels for a career with the Gendarmerie. Soon the three young people are sucked into a spiral of crimes that are attributed to the so-called "Bende van Nijvel" gang.

The discovery of a chopped-off hand in a Brussels canal forces Belgian police diver Kiki to face deep guilt from the past, her own and her country’s. Based on the book ‘Ritual’ by Mo Hayder.
