Brussels. Seventeen-year-olds Eden and Abdel carry out a terrorist attack in their school. Isabelle and Adamo, two paramedics who rush to the scene after the explosion, find Eden injured and unconscious, and load him into the ambulance without imagining that he is one of the terrorists. When Isabelle realizes that he is wearing an explosive belt, it is too late: Eden has woken up.
