Tasked with convincing a pastor that a prisoner shouldn't be paroled by his former captain, Sergeant Detective Émile Cinq-Mars fails. The consequences prove costly and it threatens to only be the beginning. An informant in the Montreal Mafia believes a gangland war is coming, and Cinq-Mars is at the heart of it.
Sergeant-Detective Émile Cinq-Mars fails with a task set to him by his former captain and the consequences look set to spark a gangland war in Montreal.

While trying to remedy his failure, and also solve the mystery of the break-ins and the case of the dead body, a chilling aspect emerges . . . gangland Montreal is bracing for war.
