Marseille. Heaps of flowers and funeral wreaths... "A man who no longer defends his colors is no longer a man."

An innocent woman falls prey to her abusive husband, his wealthy father and a shady family friend.

In 1930s Marseilles two small-time crooks decide to join forces when they meet while brawling over a woman. Starting with fixed horse races and boxing matches, they soon find themselves doing jobs for the local gangster bosses. When they decide to go into the business for themselves, their easy-going approach to crime starts to change.
