Synopsis

Strasbourg police Elsa Weber (43) is the Captain on duty when the Muslim graveyard of the city— the only one in France—is desecrated by a group of WWII fanatics. Elsa inherits the case with great apprehension : nobody knows (except her superior) that her 18-year old son Vincent fled for Syria a few months ago to join Isis’s armed forces. Since then, she has been anxiously trying to locate him and bring him back, as her incomprehension and her pain have blind her and reinforce her religious prejudice. Nevertheless Elsa and her team start to trail the defilers of the cemetery and soon find out that their leaders are hiding on the other side of the German border, inside the ranks of a small but very dangerous neo-Nazi group. A group already infiltrated by Lt Martin Bauer from the hate crime special unit. The French investigator and the German cop have no choice but to collaborate.

But Martin struggles as his undercover identity becomes harder and harder to bear. When the investigation takes an unexpected turn, Elsa begins to understand that Vincent’s indoctrination and neo-Nazis terrorist plans are linked in a way nobody would ever imagine…
