Film Synopsis

Copkiller, Flé-O, Delete and King Kong proudly identify themselves by their baseball caps but in reality these West Coast bad boys are just a bunch of mixed-up adolescents desperately seeking escape from their humdrum lives in Brittany.  When the school hero Sylvain humiliates them in front of their class, they decide to regain their tarnished reputation by attending the end of term party.  What ensues is a day that will remain in their memories forever as Copkiller and his buddies make a bonfire of their childhood innocence and graduate as bad boys worthy of that name...
