Jo gets out of prison 15 years after a big heist and returns to his former neighborhood – Menilmontant, a collection of high rise estates on the gritty outskirts of Paris. What used to be his patch, has completely changed, new gangs and new codes now rule this place.

Ultimately Jo must come to terms with his shady past and the endless settling of scores.
