A single act of violence ignites two futures, binding two young men in a shared tragedy. Abir, a Lebanese teenager, witnesses the brutal murder of his family during an Israeli army mission and vows to hunt down those responsible for the rest of his life. One of those soldiers is Jacob, a young man with French roots serving in the Israeli military, who becomes haunted by the boy's promise of revenge. This event forces both to confront identities they did not choose and grapple with a world in which they feel they do not belong.

Years later, their paths are set to cross again in Brussels, a city under the shadow of terrorist threats. Abir, now living in Paris, feels trapped between his family's rigid traditions and the freedoms of an open society. Jacob struggles to reconcile his Jewish identity with his upbringing. The narrative explores the confines of the human conscience, examining how personal history and cultural conflict shape a person's destiny. It is a story about the search for identity and the internal struggles of two men who feel they are from nowhere.
