Parisian drug dealer Alex finds hope for a new start when his cousin offers him a job in Israel. Now he must make the final score, while balancing a new romance with Jeanne (Adèle Haenel, "Portrait of a Lady on Fire") a past lover, a lifelong friendship and the addiction of his brother (actor/filmmaker Cédric Kahn).
