His daily life is a routine mix of dealing with inmates scams, gang bosses bullying tactics and enjoying couch-potato evenings with his wife Louise. Its a question of habit. But his prison guard uniform masks his unfulfilled dreams of escape and is a sign of his resignation. As though making amends for his petty criminal past, hes condemned himself to spend his life in jail.From one day to the next, Alex is transferred to the prisons VIP cells. He regrets having to leave behind his colleague and friend René. Its a whole new world: the new area is like a cushy hotel for deviant jet-setters. There industrialists caught with their hands in the till and major forgers benefit from the special privileges that their rank provides. As payoff, the guards readily accept tips on the side. Because he refuses to bend to the established rules, Alex attracts the suspicion of the other guards and sparks the interest of one of the prisoner, a certain Bertrand Fonsac.Life behind bars doesnt suit Fonsac, an important corporate boss, and he dreams of only one thing: to take vengeance on his wife Claire, who dumped him and ran off with the loot hed embezzled over 15 years. Alexs lassitude doesnt go unnoticed; Fonsac even sees in it the ideal tool by which he can enact his vengeance. The corrupt businessman offers Alex a large sum of money that will enable him to change his life. In exchange, the cynical prison guard must pretend to be a mysterious investor. Its a simple plan or so it appears. Alex must seduce Claire so as to convince her to invest the money in a phony deal...SPECIAL FEATURES: Teaser(s), Making Of, Interactive Menu, " Product Description
