Synopsis:

Secret Agents director Frederic Schoendoerffer teams with screenwriter Yann Brion for this violent crime drama concerning a brutal kingpin imprisoned by authorities, and the conflict that arises among his underlings as greed taking precedence over loyalty. Claude Corti (Philippe Caubere) is a ruthless crime lord whose creative use of power drills and metal rods have earned him both the fear and respect of the Paris underworld. When Corti is eventually captured by the police and sentenced to prison, the streets become divided by those who intend to carry on with business as usual, and those who see the departure as a notable opportunity for advancement. Beatrice Dalle, Benoit Magimel, and Olivier Marchal co-star in an unflinching look at a world where the only thing cheaper than life is loyalty.

Fifty-year-old Claude Corti is one of the few powerful men in the business of organized crime. Prostitution, drug trafficking, counterfeit money, cars, rackets, robberies--he knows about everything that goes on in his sphere of influence and skims a commission off every deal. Only violence allows him to survive.Thirty-year-old Franck is close to Corti but maintains his independence. Claude trusts the intelligent and efficient younger man. Corti goes down and spends a few months in prison. Just long enough for others to try and muscle in on his affairs.Is there a plot against him, or is Corti just paranoid?

Paris, 2005, organized crime. Claude Corti, 50 years, is one of the rare men to be able of the trade. Procuring, traffic of narcotics, counterfeit bills, cars, rackets, steerings, he knows all that it occurs in his zone from influence and takes a commission on all. He hates to be forgotten, he does not hesitate to show it. No scruple, no moral, never forgiveness. He is paranoiac and violent, that enables him to survive. Franck, 30 years, is a professional killer. He is close to Corti but is due to his independence. Intelligent, effective, Claude relies on him. Just enough so that his business starts to be put out of order. Simple paranoia or beginning of a plot?
