The Farnborough Air Show. A Mirage 2000 vanishes in the middle of a flight presentation… Captains Antoine Marchelli and Sébastian Vallois are immediately sent to patrol the area over the North Sea where the fighter disappeared from the radar screens. They soon spot the Mirage: it is flying, hidden, beneath an Airbus A340. The Mirage adopts a combat position.
At that very moment, Marchelli and Vallois receive the order
to abandon pursuit without any further delay. Too late! The Mirage 2000 is about to open fire on Vallois. Marchelli has to shoot it down to protect his colleague. This incident is the prelude to a far-reaching plot. At stake, the hijacking of a French Air Force fighter plane for a terroristic attack. A plot whose final act will be played out on Bastille Day in the skies
of Paris, above the Champs-Elysées in the presence of the same two pilots, Marchelli et Vallois.
