Renowned for their bravery and intelligence, the pair are not unfamiliar with violent crimes. Yet they are horrified when they discover a criminal who goes by the name of Alpha a man filled with red-hot hatred, whose meaning of life lies in assaulting and torturing others. As Alpha turns the streets of Paris into his hunting ground, little does he know that he’s being pursued by Marion and Anthony. But as they battle with secrets of their own, will they bring him to justice before it’s too late?
