The night before 22-year old Saif Belkacem starts his new job as an NYPD officer, seven convicts escape a prison van and disappear into the streets of New York City. Among them is Yasin Bamba, a wrongfully imprisoned Guinean immigrant who decides to seize the opportunity to find freedom. While Saif and his colleagues race to find the seven fugitives, Saif slowly uncovers the story of his father's death in Algeria, and his life starts to intertwine with Yasin's in more ways than he could have imagined.
