The “Little Jaffna” district of Paris is the heart of a vibrant Tamil community, where Michael, a young police officer, is tasked with infiltrating a criminal group known for extortion and money laundering for separatist rebels in Sri Lanka. But as he gets deeper into the organisation, his loyalties will be tested in a relentless pursuit of one of Paris’s most hidden and powerful gangs.
