Film Synopsis

After completing a fifteen year stretch in prison for his part in a violent armed robbery, Jo returns to his old neighbourhood in Paris to find it altered beyond recognition.  He wants nothing better than to turn over a new leaf and make a go of his life before the onset of old age, but as he tries to re-establish his relationship with his former girlfriend and the son he never knew he had Jo finds he has an uphill task ahead of him.  It isn't just the environs that have changed; the people are also different, altered by the taxing social realities of the time.  There are new gangs on the street, following their own rules, and new challenges to deal with.  When an old friend turns to him for help, Jo has no choice but to offer him his support...
