Vortex is a 6 Episode TV Series with all episodes being released on June 2, 2023 on Netflix. It originally aired in France on France 2 in September 2022.

Vortex is set in 2025, thanks to a new technology, police officers can immerse themselves in crime scenes, reconstructed in virtual reality, to help them solve their investigations. When Ludovic, a police captain, uses VR to analyze the crime scene of a drowned woman, Zoé Levy, on Corsen Beach in Brest, he recognizes his dead wife, Mélanie, jogging in the scene. Mélanie, the great love of his youth, mother of his daughter Juliette, died on that same beach 27 years ago, killed while jogging along the same route she took every night. Ludovic has to accept that a temporal rift has opened and he has 11 days to convince Mélanie, her life is in danger. Mélanie and Ludovic realize that by trying to change the past, they are causing devastating and unpredictable butterfly effects to the future, including Ludovic's present life, that has taken him so long to rebuild with his current wife, Parvana, and their son, Sam.

There have been claims of plagiarism since Vortex is very similar from another TV Series "Gods Game".
