In the French countryside, farmers and hunters are in conflict as wild boars destroy crops. Brun, a grain farmer who can no longer bear the situation, suddenly disappears. A year later, a troubled police officer, Fulda, and a struggling psychologist, Stéphane, investigate his disappearance. What they discover is far more shocking than they expected. As they work together, an unexpected bond also develops between them.
