Synopsis: There's an underworld contract out for a crusading anti-mafia judge in Marseille. After escaping an assassination attempt, the judge is given a full-time bodyguard. The two men know each other : they once loved the same woman. Today she is the judge's wife. They have a son. The reunion of the three former friends under the same roof brings back memories of an uncomfortable past. But there are more urgent matters to deal with when the judge's son is kidnapped by the mafia. Either the judge buries the testimony of a leading supergrass or the boy dies. Can he really count on his bodyguard?
