A gritty, morally complex portrait of a dedicated narcotics detective struggling against institutional indifference and the human toll of drug abuse in Paris.

In Paris, Lulu, a passionate policeman, works with the faith of a rookie, despite the sclerotic bureaucracy and the incompetence or negligence of some of his colleagues. In his new position as a narcotics inspector, he tries to keep his sanity as he witnesses the worst of the human condition.
