Drame

Le ministre des Transports Bertrand Saint-Jean est réveillé en pleine nuit par son directeur de cabinet. Un car a basculé dans un ravin. Il y va, il n’a pas le choix. Ainsi commence l’odyssée d’un homme d’État dans un monde toujours plus complexe et hostile. Vitesse, lutte de pouvoirs, chaos, crise économique… Tout s’enchaine et se percute. Une urgence chasse l’autre. À quels sacrifices les hommes sont-ils prêts ? Jusqu’où tiendront-ils dans un État qui dévore ceux qui le servent ?
