Six years later, divorced from his wife Alice, Simon has become a security guard and struggles to maintain his father role with his son Théo, who is now nine years old. Franck, still a cop, keeps watch over Simon from a distance. During a corrida, Théo accidentally witnesses a settling of scores between mafiosi. The boy's life is threatened.
