Mangin, a Paris police inspector, pressures informants to build a case against three Tunisian drug‑smuggling brothers. He arrests one brother, Simon, and his girlfriend Noria. When Noria steals 2 million francs belonging to the Tunisians, both she and the brothers’ lawyer become targets. Caught between the lawyer and Mangin’s volatile emotions, Noria manipulates both men while Mangin, prone to intimidation and sudden affection, must protect them and win Noria’s love.
