In the days following the Bataclan attacks of November 13th, 2015, two terrorists, suspected to be responsible for the deaths of over 130 people, are at large. The anti-terrorist police led by Heloise (Sandrine Kiberlain, Mademoiselle Chambon), her chief commander Fred (Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin, The Artist), and close associate Inès (Anaïs Demoustier, Anaïs in Love), face overwhelming odds and an unprecedented level of pressure. In a race against the clock, they must find the perpetrators of the attacks before they can strike again, travelling across Europe and beyond in one of the biggest manhunts in history. Director Cédric Jimenez orchestrates visceral action and ratches up the suspense in this gripping thriller.
