When prison warden Melissa is transferred to Corsica, she finds the relaxed atmosphere of her new workplace contrasts sharply with the aggressive inhabitants of the neighbourhood where she now lives with her partner Djibril. Melissa’s integration is facilitated by Saveriu, a young inmate who places her under his protection. But everything comes at a price, and once freed, Saveriu expects her help in return.
