Franck's first target is his own boss, a wealthy man who he believes has mistreated him. However, the plan goes awry and Franck ends up killing an innocent woman instead. This sets off a chain of events that quickly spirals out of control, as Franck tries to cover up his crime and stay one step ahead of the law.
