In a small French mountain town, many dead people reappear, apparently alive and normal: teenage road crash victim Camille, suicidal bridegroom Simon, a small boy called "Victor" who was murdered by burglars, and Serge, a serial killer. They try to resume their lives as strange phenomena occur; amongst recurring power outages, the water level of the reservoir mysteriously lowers, revealing the presence of dead animals and a church steeple, and strange marks appear on the bodies of the living and the dead.

Julie is devastated when her ex-partner Laure takes Victor away from her to a local shelter run by Pierre. While there, Victor realises that Pierre is one of the two men that invaded his house when he was shot, thirty-five years ago. Thomas uses his home surveillance equipment to watch Adèle, who has reignited her relationship with Simon, and who introduces him to his daughter, pretending he is an "angel". Léna is rushed to hospital with a wound on her back that appears to have suddenly expanded from a scar left when her father Jérôme supposedly hit her a year before. Léna soon leaves the hospital, and still faint from her wound, is found by Serge. The water level at the reservoir continues to drop, but engineers can find no faults in the dam.

Camille and her family debate moving to a new town to start afresh, while Camille attempts to live a normal life, pretending to be Léna's cousin, "Alice". Simon, released by the Gendarmerie, gets back in contact with Adèle, who shows him their child, conceived shortly before his death; when she hears other people have talked to a man named Simon, she begins to realize he may not be a vision after all. Julie is threatened by Mademoiselle Payet, who believes she has illegally adopted Victor; when Julie leaves for work, Victor pays Mademoiselle Payet a visit, and she is later discovered dead from "self-inflicted" stab wounds.

I thought I remember reading a FAQ on this, but I just cannot find it this evening. Can someone point be in the right direction? And if there isn't one, the show I'm interested in is season 2 of Les revenenants / The Returned, which just appeared in my US Netflix queue a few days ago. There was a thread that was started awhile back, but then died out.
