This intense French action saga concerns a group of five closely-knit but very different brothers, raised by a mother who grew too old too quickly, their father long dead. One spent years geographically separated from the family, but suddenly reappears under unusual circumstances, pursued by a gang of drug traffickers. He hides out among the others and reveals a secret unbeknownst to any of them. Now aware that their father was violently assassinated, the men band together and make a pact to avenge the patriarch's death.
