Plot summary

It's July 14, and people are enjoying a national festival. Meanwhile, Helene Laborie, a special agent in the French special forces, is escorting the leader of the Albanian mafia, Abedin Nexhep. He is due to appear in a European court, charged with running an extensive prostitution network. Despite a considerable security presence, Nexhep's henchmen still try to intercept the armed escort. They set up an ambush, but the escort manage to escape.

After a chase, the armed escort take refuge in a warehouse inside a massive industrial park. Upon arriving, they discover that the building is in the process of being robbed, by a group of people after some computer equipment. While facing off against the would-be thieves, Nexhep's men surround the warehouse.

The three groups are then involved in a long firefight, and everyone involved struggles to survive. Who exactly lives or dies is unclear right until the very end of the film.
