Summary
The setting is the island of Ouvéa in New Caledonia, April
1988. When thirty policemen are taken hostage by a group of
Kanak separatists, the French government sends in a battalion of 300
soldiers to restore order. Police chief Philippe Legorjus
attempts to negotiate with the leader of the hostage takers in a bid to
avoid a bloody skirmish. But with the French presidential
election underway and several political reputations at stake, those who
seek to resolve the crisis cannot afford to let morality get in the way
of a successful outcome...
