A high-octane, stylized crime thriller built on brutal action and cat-and-mouse tension between a charismatic criminal and an obsessive cop.

The charismatic criminal Dobermann, who got his first gun when he was christened, leads a gang of brutal robbers. After a complex and brutal bank robbery, they are being hunted by the Paris police. The hunt is led by the sadistic cop Christini, who only has one goal: to catch Dobermann at any cost.
