After the murder of the Corsican prefect, the government appointed Guy Caillonce to maintain order and enforce the law. A “sacred” mission for the new prefect. A “sacred” mission for the new prefect.

Determined and idealistic, he set out to abolish all privileges and fight crime. He scores points and becomes the darling of the Republic. But everything is multiplied tenfold on this beautiful and rebellious island, where destiny weaves its traps.

Insidiously, unaware, the Prefect is sucked into the inexorable spiral of decline. Power, love and friendship, scheming, cowardice and betrayal all end up in the “straw huts affair”.

A political fable about the rise and fall of a soldier of the rule of law.
