David and Michelle run a communications firm together and are preparing to become parents. But the young man learns that his father, with whom he had broken ties at age 15, is dying. He decides to go to Switzerland to be with the man who ruined his childhood.

Talou, prince of an imaginary African kingdom, is sent to Switzerland to be protected from his father's enemies. But that won't be enough.

For twenty-four hours, Geneva becomes the living backdrop for a contemporary drama: by day, a place where life is good; by night, a refuge for the marginalized. Five characters will meet there, connected by the night shift of a pair of cops. Hans, a police officer nearing the end of his career and worn down by life, tries his hand at compassion, while Dan, his young partner, struggles between prejudice and discovering the other.
