Michel is an ordinary father who raises his daughter alone. Brave and hardworking, he is one of the village's indispensable figures, running the only shop in the area. To everyone, Michel is a wonderful guy. Until tragedy strikes: his beloved daughter is murdered before his eyes, and it's the beginning of a nightmare. From ideal father, Michel becomes the prime suspect. Except in the eyes of his best friend Jeff, the village priest. Jailed for 45 days after a hasty and biased investigation led by a gendarme blinded by her prejudices, he is ultimately released due to insufficient evidence. But the damage is done, and Michel cannot restore his honor. Only Jeff supports him. Consumed by the injustice of his double punishment and pushed by his friend who perhaps encourages him a bit too much to find the real culprit, Michel will end up satisfying his thirst for vengeance by targeting the wrong person. Michel has never liked priests...
Michel est un père ordinaire qui élève seul sa fille. Courageux et travailleur, il est l'une des figures incontournables du village, puisqu'il tient le seul magasin de la région. Pour tout le monde, Michel est un homme merveilleux. Jusqu'à ce qu'un drame survienne : sa fille bien-aimée est assassinée sous ses yeux, et c'est le début d'un cauchemar. De père idéal, Michel devient le principal suspect. Sauf aux yeux de son meilleur ami Jeff, le curé du village. Emprisonné 45 jours après une enquête hâtive et partiale menée par une gendarme aveuglée par ses préjugés, il est finalement relâché faute de preuves suffisantes. Mais le mal est fait, et Michel ne peut rétablir son honneur. Seul Jeff le soutient. Rongé par l'injustice de sa double peine et poussé par son ami qui l'encourage peut-être un peu trop à trouver le vrai coupable, Michel finira par assouvir sa soif de vengeance en se trompant de cible. Michel n'a jamais aimé les prêtres...
