Fifty-year-old Claude Corti is one of the few powerful men in the business of organized crime. Prostitution, drug trafficking, counterfeit money, cars, rackets, robberies--he knows about everything that goes on in his sphere of influence and skims a commission off every deal. Only violence allows him to survive.Thirty-year-old Franck is close to Corti but maintains his independence. Claude trusts the intelligent and efficient younger man. Corti goes down and spends a few months in prison. Just long enough for others to try and muscle in on his affairs.Is there a plot against him, or is Corti just paranoid?
