In the declining town of La Ciotat, a writing workshop is set up to help young people find work. Under the guidance of novelist Olivia Dejazet, the participants write noir fiction connected to their town's industrial past. One student, Antoine, stands out for his provocative and aggressive behavior, and his disturbing story about a mass murder.
