Guillaume Labbé

Philippe, runs a fire brigade barracks in the South of France. During a summer-long heatwave, blazing fires spark up all over the countryside, some more suspicious than others. When Bénédicte arrives; a warrant officer of the same rank, tensions within the brigade intensify to new levels. When the brigade are called to a terrible car crash, Bénédicte finds herself reaching for new depths of courage and bravery, as one man's life hangs in the balance.

Inspired by the 1976 Somalian rebel hijacking of a school bus of 21 French children and their American teacher and the rescue operation that followed.
