5h48 : Place des Martyrs plot
Just like every morning, the 5:48 am bus departs from the Place des Martyrs in Le Havre, driven by the exhausted and desperate driver, Gilles. Having been abandoned by his wife and feeling misunderstood by the authorities, he decides to take his passengers hostage this morning. As the police and media rush to the scene, it becomes apparent that the hostages on the bus are struggling with the same despair and may not be so innocent themselves.
