Plot

Fear and uncertainty prevail in the money transport company Fortico. Three of the transports have recently been robbed and the guards killed. The perpetrators were able to escape undetected every time. It always seems to be the same gang. It is clear to the employees that there must be a mole in their company. In addition, the company will soon be bought by a U.S. company in a month. However, it is not yet clear who will be retained and who will lose his job.

In this situation, Alexandre Demarre is hired as a new employee. At first he is watched suspiciously by his colleagues, but when he proves himself in a robbery and fends off the assailants, he is welcomed into the group. His living conditions remain a mystery, however, as he doesn't let anyone get close to him. Alexandre has repeated attacks of epilepsy, but he can hide them well from his colleagues. In his hotel room he has pinned photos and files about the Fortico employees onto a wall.

A flashback explains the reason for his actions: he and his son accidentally witnessed a robbery on a company money transport. His son was shot in cold blood by a masked perpetrator, while he barely survived the attack. Now he wants to avenge the murder of his son. He promised that to his wife, who has been committed to a psychiatric clinic ever since.

When the gangsters attempt to rob Fortico's vaults in a final coup, it comes to a big showdown. Alexandre and the loyal staff overwhelm and kill the criminals amidst great carnage. After the battle, Alexandre, seriously injured, drives to the spot where his son was shot and lies down by the roadside to die.
