Film Synopsis

With Marseille in the grip of a summer heat wave, crime is running rampant.  A murder disguised as a suicide; a stripper has gone missing... For too long, hoodlums have had the run of the city.  The local police decide it is time for all that to end.  They must strike hard, by putting their best men onto the job, Gomez and Tavarès.  The trigger-happy Gomez and loud-mouthed Tavarès make an unlikely team, and neither is what you might call a model cop, or indeed a model anything.  But they soon discover they must work together if they are to out-smart their criminal adversaries...
