Spoilers ahead

Three years before the events unfolding in this story, Charly Matteï steps away from the criminal life and hands his territory over to his longtime associate Tony Zacchia. He seeks a quiet, ordinary life, cherishing time with his wife and two children and trying to leave the shadows of the underworld behind.

Yet the past is never far. In a crowded parking lot, an eight-man hit squad ambushes Matteï, killing his dog and leaving him with twenty-two bullets in his body. Miraculously, he survives, and a new, dangerous chapter begins as he sets his sights on those who tried to kill him and on restoring a sense of safety for his family.
