For these officers, facing their feelings is more dangerous than dodging bullets.

Jamil is a young French-Algerian rookie whose hotheaded approach to criminals makes him the odd man out at the Parisian police department, where he?s been assigned to.

Brought together over shootouts, drug busts, and stakeouts, the two struggle to infiltrate a complex underworld connection but keep getting sidetracked by Jamil?s family, not to mention their growing desire for each other.
