Colomia, an inmate serving ten years for armed robbery, receives a visit from Inspector Levarois, a policeman he knows well because he wounded him in the leg during a holdup. Levarois wants to know who owns a gun that once belonged to Colomia and was used in the rape and murder of a very young child. Colomia knows that giving the name would leave several of his old friends open to arrest, even though the inspector swears he only wants the killer. Raised by a violent father, a hard man with a tender heart who dreams of changing his life, Colomia faces a choice that sets off a long war between the two men.
