When you're a cop in Marseilles, threats of violence and revenge go with the territory. Usually they come to nothing, but when friends and colleagues start turning up dead, it soon becomes clear that someone from Jacquot's past has a score to settle. The first to die is a bride on her wedding day. She's been shot in the head. And an eye has been removed. The second to die is the wife of a high-ranking officer in the Marseilles homicide squad. Her throat has been cut. And a tooth removed. When a third body is found, there's a hand missing; and the fourth body has had a foot sawn off. The message couldn't be clearer - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and so on. But not only that. In order to sweeten the revenge and cause the greatest pain, his victims are never the names on the list but the people closest to them. When Jacquot realises that he's the target, he knows that unless he can track down the killer then someone he loves will pay the price.
