Louis-Régis Savoie (Gilder Roy) is a ruthless, convicted murderer. After serving several years of a prison sentence, he's offered the chance to meet with his son. But Savoie doesn't see this as a chance for a joyous reunion; instead, he uses the meeting as an opportunity to escape and head to Montreal, where he aims to violently settle the score with some former associates. As authorities search for the fugitive, they approach Savoie's loved ones and try to understand what makes him tick.
