For years, Belga Chemical was used by the most powerful arms corporations as a transshipment point for international arms trafficking. Even before this scandal is uncovered, Daniel Rousseu is able to go into hiding with all the evidence. In his hiding place, he creates a documentary to which he gives the name Jihad. Daniel Rousseu is no longer willing to cover up for the real backers, the powerful bosses of the arms mafia, and wants to turn himself in to the police, testify before the investigating committee and present the Jihad file - The death sentence for Daniel Rousseu! When he hires private detective Claude Garonne to hand over part of the file to a well-known journalist, he is lured into a trap. Badly wounded, the private detective initially manages to escape. Even before his murderers kill him, he hands over the documents to journalism student Samantha. He also reveals the whereabouts of Daniel Rousseu to her - a murderous hunt begins!
