Lucio, a murderer and armed robber; Saïdi, shattered by years of working for NGOs; and Paul, the long-haul trucker, have made quiet lives for themselves in a small French town, looking forward to simply growing old and forgetting in peace. An innocuous event linked to a phenomenon of worldwide scope will turn the lives of these three men upside down, revealing their pasts to each other, and turning their daily existence into a headlong race against time, upending their certainties with unlikely friendships, unexpected help, and human tragedy.
