Martin, un jeune parisien, a offert à son amie de longue date, Capucine, un dîner dans un restaurant de poissons dans le Nord de la France. Après avoir pris le train depuis Paris, ils attendent un bus qui doit les mener Chez Alfred, le restaurant de fruits de mer huppé des alentours. À court de batterie, ils se décident à aborder l’homme qui patiente avec eux. Lorsqu’ils découvrent une prise sur l’abribus, ils se rendent compte, grâce au GPS du téléphone, que le chemin indiqué par l’autochtone n’est pas le bon. Par peur de contredire l’homme de plus en plus étrange, ils vont s’engouffrer dans une prise d'otage à ciel ouvert.

Martin, a young Parisian, treated his longtime friend Capucine to dinner at a seafood restaurant in the north of France. After taking the train from Paris, they are waiting for a bus that will take them to “Chez Alfred”, the upscale seafood spot in the area. With their phones out of battery, they decide to approach a man who is waiting with them. When they discover a power outlet on the bus shelter, they use the GPS and realize that the route given by the local man is incorrect. Afraid to contradict the increasingly strange individual, they find themselves caught up in an open-air hostage situation.
