France, 1986. When Hughes, a young man from the French West Indies, discovers the new Freetime ad, it is a shock : France, the country where he was born, to which he owes his life and his identity, considers him a cannibal. This is the start of a radical awareness fueled by anger and frustration.

1980s-set first feature follows a gang of ethnic minority youngsters called The Rascals, who take on an ultra-violent gang of right-wing skinheads, losing their innocence in the process.

Mady leads a double life as a student by day and a locksmith by night. One evening, he helps out Claire, an enigmatic young girl who calls him to the door of an apartment that is not hers. The bag she wants at all costs to recover is not hers either, but that of Yannick, a man to whom Mady must be accountable. Caught in a hellish chase, Mady has only one night to prove his innocence and save his skin.
