Overview

Marion, a nurse addicted to opiates, gets hired in a palliative care unit (USP), to gain access to a pharmacy containing an inexhaustible supply of drugs. She doesn't care about the patients. She's incurred a €15,000 debt with Victor, a dealer inventive when it comes to torturing late payers. Her plan: raid the pharmacy to pay Victor back quickly. However, our heroine hasn't planned for one thing. The USP patients are not blind and have nothing to lose. To fulfill a final wish, some are ready to do anything, even blackmail. So when her scheme is discovered, Marion finds herself caught between the threat of Victor and that of being denounced. Marion will quickly discover that the wishes of the dying are far from easy to fulfill. Forced to put herself at the service of her patients, Marion will gradually reveal the secret of her past. Marion's time will turn into shock therapy as she will find herself confronted with what drugs have deprived her of: a torrent of emotions.
