Plot

A gang of small time crooks take advantage of riots in the French inner cities caused by victory of a far-right party in elections to set up a heist. The robbery goes terribly wrong and the group splits up. With the police on their tails, some of the gang take refuge in a speedy hostel owned by a neo-nazi family led by an old member of the SS. What they do not know is that their hosts are desperate for a New World Order and will go to any lengths to turn their Nazi fantasy into reality. The crooks are subsequently subjected to mutilation and torture.
