Pierre Vasseur is the French president. He has a busy schedule: resolving political crises, abating popular anger, tolerating sarcastic journalists, and parrying opposition attacks-not to mention dealing with the tense relationship he has with his daughter.

One summer evening, three childhood friends invoke the spirit of Kandisha, a vengeful creature from a Moroccan legend. The game quickly turns into a nightmare when their loved ones begin to disappear.

A Christmas Eve gathering among old friends turns tragic. Under the tree lies a poisoned gift – Tintin in the Congo – picked at random by a guest of African descent. Between buried secrets, forced soul-searching, generational clashes and political-family squabbles Brussels-style, things heat up faster than a turkey left too long in the oven.
