Description

Ugo, Manu, and Fabio grew up together on the mean streets of Marseilles, where friendship and loyalty mean everything. As adults, Ugo and Manu are drawn into the city's criminal underworld, and when both men are murdered it is left to Detective Fabio Montale to avenge their deaths. A disenchanted cop with an inimitable talent for living, Montale turns his back on a police force marred by corruption and racism and, in the name of friendship, takes the fight against the mafia into his own hands.
