Meet Ferchaux, a rich and powerful businessman. Ferchaux is about to sign a huge contract to build a dam in Africa. But suddenly a judge targets him for his involvement in a financial political scandal. When the judge throws his brother in prison to get Ferchaux to talk, Ferchaux vows to free the younger sibling he has always protected. Enter Maud Lerner, a minister’s mistress, and Mike Maudet, a determined young man who reminds Ferchaux of all the passion and ambition he had in his own youth. With their help, Ferchaux learns that his fall was orchestrated by the people who once profited from the embezzlement operation he set up. The world turns, and the tide has changed for the Ferchaux. Is their time up?
