Film Synopsis

At 25, Vincent Milès is one of the French police's most accomplished firearms experts.  He is too happy with his present job as an armourer and weapons instructor to want to join a branch of the police where his knowledge could be put to practical use.  In the course of his work he meets another cop, Milo Cardena, who is on the slide towards corruption and criminality.  Cardena is a charismatic and persuasive individual who soon has Vincent within his power.  With the younger cop his willing accomplice, he instigates a series of violent armed robberies.  Before he knows it, Vincent's whole world is turned inside-out as he finds himself caught in the cross fire between two opposing factions in the French police.  If he is to stand any chance of survival he must surrender to his darker instincts, come what may...
