Directed by Fred Cavayé

Film Synopsis

Simon and Franck's partnership as cops in Toulon ends in disaster and disgrace.  The two men have been out celebrating after completing one difficult assignment when they crash into another car, causing the death of two other people, including a child.  As Simon is at the wheel of the car, visibly intoxicated, it is he who must take the wrap.  He loses his job, his reputation and his family.  His whole life is ruined, whilst Franck is able to continue as if nothing had happened.  Six years later, separated from his wife Alice, Simon earns as much as he needs to support himself and his nine-year-old son Théo by working as a security van driver.  It is some come down and he is as bitter as hell.

Still a cop, Franck will have nothing to do with his old friend Simon - until the day the latter unexpectedly contacts him and begs him to help him.  It seems that during a bullfight, young Théo was the sole witness to a gangland killing.  Not long afterwards, the boy began receiving threats from someone who clearly means him harm.  Aware that he and his son are now in the greatest of danger, Simon appeals to Franck to help him deal with the unknown aggressors before they can strike.  It is the opportunity that Franck has been waiting for to repay his debt to his friend and repair their damaged relationship...
