To extend its empire even further, a group in charge of public works calls on paid assassins to eliminate every obstacle in their plan to reorganize the capital, where they are building a Grand Metro transit... In a near future, the city of Lutetia is entirely run by multinational corporations. To extend its empire even further, a group in charge of public works calls on paid assassins to eliminate every obstacle in their plan to reorganize the capital, where they are building a Grand Metro transit system. One of these killers is Patrick Amiot, a solitary, disillusioned man who carries out his missions freely and without any qualms. Until the day when foxes invade the city and turn its inhabitants savage. Goupil, the object of every fantasy that crystalizes fears and passions, provokes a merciless urban war. Now, every kind of attack is permitted. Lutetia becomes a hunting grounds, the theater of a social clash where it becomes difficult to distinguish between man and beast.
Are greed and hunting for profit making us into individuals with no conscience or morals? With this fierce urban fable, Fabrice Lardreau questions the animal within us all and reminds us that the most dangerous predators are not what we think.
