About

A contract killer in Paris refuses to murder a young blind woman, drawing the attention of a detective and turning her criminal colleagues against her.

Zee (Nathalie Emmanuel) is a professional contract killer living in Paris, known in the underworld as the Queen of the Dead. She takes her orders from Finn (Sam Worthington), an Irishman who works for crime lord Jules Gobert (Éric Cantona) and has Zee eliminate Gobert’s rivals in the drug business. Her few anchors are her friendship with the old tailor Tessier (Tchéky Karyo), who supplies her disguises, her pet goldfish and crossword puzzles.

Finn sends her to a nightclub where the American singer Jenn (Diana Silvers) is performing, to kill members of a Marseille drug gang. Zee refuses to murder Jenn, a young blind woman. Her decision draws the attention of police detective Sey (Omar Sy) and turns her criminal colleagues against her.
