ABOUT THE SHOW

RUNAWAY (FUGUEUSE IN FRENCH) follows the journey of Fanny (Ludivine Reding), a young woman on the run who falls into the hell of prostitution. The story deals with sex trafficking when the teenager becomes hopelessly in love with music producer Damien Stone (Yes Mccan). Her life is turned upside down as she falls into the challenging world of pimping.

The 16-year-old teenager living in the suburbs of the South Shore of Montreal dreams of independence and plans to go to New York with her friends. One day, she meets Natacha, who is, in reality, a recruiter of young girls for a network run by pimps. Understanding Fanny well, Natacha suggests that she attend a party downtown. During this escape, she meets Damien, her prince charming, who is, in the meantime, a musician.

Damien takes advantage of Fanny's naivety to exploit her and make a large sum of money by pushing her to offer sexual services. He manipulates Fanny by telling her that he needs money to shoot a music video in Miami. Despite her gang rape, she continues to be faithful to her pimp as she sinks deeper into the dark world of prostitution, drugs, and human trafficking.

Produced by Encore Télévision, in collaboration with Quebecor, rarely has a series generated so much reaction and interest from viewers. The realism of Michelle Allen's texts and Éric Tessier's direction made it possible to tell the moving story of Fanny, played by Ludivine Reding, a true revelation in her first major role on TV.
