Carole enjoys a tranquil life in rural France, where she teaches English. Her world crumbles when she learns that her son, Martin, who is conducting research for his Ph.D. in Indonesia, has been arrested for drug trafficking and could be sentenced to death. Convinced of his innocence, Carole discovers that Martin is, in fact, a crucial witness to crimes committed by powerful palm oil producers.
