French thriller about a serial killer whose life is about to fall apart. Samuel Delauney is a professional hitman working for his mother, the glamorous and domineering matriarch Natacha who helps wealthy clients get rid of their enemies. Natacha has never quite forgiven Samuel for the one and only contract he never fulfilled. On that occasion, instead of killing his mark, he married her.
A serial killer is arrested and, to clear his name, commissions skilled assassin Samuel Delaunay to carry out a murder replicating his sadistic ritual of shaving his victims' skulls after the killing
Franck Peszynski, a casino owner who ordered the murder of Samuel's wife Lauren, returns and discovers that she's still alive. Samuel's mother Natacha sends him to kill an editor and fake her suicide.
A fugitive gives Natacha and Samuel a new contract: to kill the person who betrayed him to the police - his own brother. A persistent Peszynski discovers the connection between Natacha and Lauren.
A representative of a bank in Luxembourg needs Samuel to dispose of an MEP who is proposing to regulate tax havens and then make the death look like an accident. Natacha meddles in her son's marriage.
A woman hires Samuel to assassinate her boss, a plastic surgeon whom she's accused of sexual abuse. When Lauren finds her son Arthur playing with a gun, she turns to her neighbour Charlotte for help.
When Samuel realises that Natacha has delivered Lauren to Peszynski, he is furious and heads off to rescue her. But at the rendezvous, the French intelligence services give him a terrifying ultimatum.
