Paris, 1962. Luc Blanchard investigates a group suspected of being a front for the secret services, involved in the assassination in Geneva, two years earlier, of a leader of the Union of the Populations of Cameroon. A lead leads the young journalist to Yaoundé, but he sticks his nose where he shouldn't and becomes the target of the local government and its French shadowy advisers. With the help of his friend Antoine and a former secret agent, he will try to extract himself from this quagmire to bring the truth to light. Frakas immerses us in a little-known event from the beginning of the Fifth Republic: the Cameroon War, which left tens of thousands dead amidst near-general indifference and gave birth to what would later be called "Françafrique".
