The story begins in 2014, when Alexandre (Melvil Poupaud), a lawyer and Catholic family man learns that Father Preynat (Bernard Verley), who abused him during his childhood, is back in Lyon, and still being allowed to work with children. He notifies Cardinal Barbarin (François Marthouret), but it becomes clear that the Church does not intend to defrock Preynat, only to get him to ask forgiveness. Alexandre is determined to take things further, as are other victims of Preynat. One is François (Denis Ménochet) who begins an online campaign; another is Emmanuel (Swann Arlaud), a young man whose memories of his ordeals trigger seizures.
