K.O. 2025

Bastien [Ciryl Gane] is a former pro MMA fighter who, in a fateful bout against Enzo, unintentionally kills his opponent. He expresses remorse, but Enzo’s family—Emma [Anne Azoulay] and Leo [Maleaume Paquin]—refuse to forgive him. Stricken by the consequences of that night, Bastien retires from fighting and retreats to work at a mining facility, choosing to live far away from danger and conflict.

Two years later, in an abandoned industrial complex, the drug mafia led by the Manchour brothers dismantles the Andalou network. The Manchours capture Andalou—[Affif Ben Badra]—and press him for the whereabouts of 300 kilos of weed and 10 kilos of cocaine that the Andalou gang brought into the country. Under torture and with his family endangered, Andalou reveals the drugs’ location inside a container at the port.

Police officer Alaoui [Alice Belaïdi] believes the Manchours are staging a comeback to seize Marseille, though her colleagues Benoit [Malone Ettori] and Capitaine Vasseur [Virgile Bramly] question that claim. Alaoui receives a distressing call from Leo, who says the Manchours killed Andalou and saw the whole operation. Leo warns that if the Manchours find him, they will kill him, and then he vanishes before Alaoui can intervene.

Emma shows up at Bastien’s door with a plea: find Leo. For Bastien, this becomes a chance to make amends for Enzo’s family’s loss, so he travels to Marseille where Leo had moved to stay with his cousin Hugo (not in the provided cast list). There, Bastien crosses paths with Alaoui at Hugo’s place. Hugo has been brutally beaten by the Manchours and is hospitalized, while Fatou and Inaya become part of the evolving web of loyalties and danger.

Alaoui defeats two of the Manchour goons outside the hospital and is suspended by her superiors for lacking solid evidence against the intruders. Leo, meanwhile, served as Alaoui’s informant, and together they race to find him before Abdel [Foued Nabba] and Driss [Ibrahima Keita] of the Manchour faction do. From the start, Leo is shown to be feeding information to Andalou and tipping off the Manchours about drug movements, but he becomes a crucial witness once he sees Andalou captured and Abdel kill an associate.

As Bastien and Alaoui close in on Leo, they locate Fatou, who reveals that Leo and Inaya are staying at her mother’s place. They rescue Leo, but Canistra [Samuel Jouy] reviews CCTV footage and identifies Fatou, prompting a police response to Inaya’s neighborhood. A mole within the police—whose identity remains uncertain—tips the Manchours off, and their goons strike at Leo just as he’s about to be taken into custody. Bastien protects the group, and a timely police arrival prevents a total catastrophe.

Leo is saved and reunited with Emma and Inaya. The Manchours’ resurgence is rooted in a vendetta that stretches back over a decade: Alaoui’s brother, a drug dealer, was killed by Abdel after a dispute about selling drugs, and Alaoui has long lived with the memory. Her pursuit of the Manchour syndicate becomes personal, and her decision to confront the threat in the precinct is a confrontation with years of anger and a system that rarely moved fast enough.

For Bastien, the past also weighs heavily: his MMA career brought him glory but also the tragedy of Enzo’s death and the harm suffered by Emma and Leo. In the tense precinct showdown, Bastien channels his fighting skills to protect others rather than seek personal glory. He recognizes that Leo will never fully forgive him for the past, and, when asked what comes next, Bastien promises to find something new to fight for, signaling a hopeful pivot from vengeance to purpose.

In the end, the film paints a portrait of a city pushed to its limits by cartel ruthlessness and internal corruption, and of individuals who choose to stand up and fight for those they wronged or endangered. The resolution is hard-won, with sacrifices made by Canistra and others, the exposure of a dangerous mole within the police, and a renewed resolve from Bastien to dedicate himself to a cause larger than personal redemption. The living threads of loyalty, honor, and community resilience thread through Marseille’s streets as the characters confront a criminal network that refuses to stay buried.
