Description: The Republic of San Feliz is, in 2045, the most prosperous state in Central Africa. Unemployment is non-existent, its population is educated, and democracy is doing its work ... A haven of peace in the heart of the Congo Basin. Suddenly, eight ritual killings come to question the tranquility of a nation. A historic opponent of Uncle Sam's country, President Kwamee has no choice but to call the New York police - the NYPD - to help him solve a case that may tip his homeland in the civil war. The investigator appointed is none other than Lieutenant Ellington, the best cop in New York. Son of a Senegalese immigrant, Ellington accepts a mission which, he thinks, will be an opportunity to reconnect with his ancestral roots. In the heart of Central Africa, then starts a thorny investigation, which suddenly turns into a nightmare when the first ethnic tensions appear. Heads fall like flies. In front of the obvious implication of the UN, the host of the White House decides to take things in hand. In turn, the CIA, the FBI, the NSA and the NCIS enter the track! Under pressure, and ideal scapegoat, Ellington embarks on an ultimate judicial race, risking his life and the one he loves ... the NSA and the NCIS are on the track!
