They sell stolen goods to Bourdieux, a receiver and owner of a garage. One day, Julien is arrested by the police for robbery. When Fleur tries to help her brother out, she realises that she needs money to hire a lawyer. To obtain this money, Fleur and the gang kidnap Alain and demand a ransom payment from his parents.
