Synopsis

A life of crime seemed inevitable for Jecko. Originally from Quebec, with Haitian roots, he witnesses the murder of his mother by his father at the age of eight, a tragic event that will mark him forever. Moved from one foster family to another, Jecko finally finds he belongs when he starts to hang out with some young hooligans from the Saint-Michel neighbourhood. A few years later, crime and violence have led Jecko to the top of an empire. In this world where richness and respect are obtained by wielding a gun, Jecko is like a fish in water. Nevertheless, a number of circumstances will make him reconsider his way of life.
