ParisianAlex Muano arrives in Rome to pick up his new son wives - Brand . The young family decided to live in Paris . Now, Alex and Mark have a long trip, more than a thousand kilometers, during which they meet and become friends, although at first Alex Mark is not to his liking and he considers him a boring and impudent boy. Already at the beginning of the journey, the boy notices that their suspicious black Ford van follows their Renault 5 car. He shares his observations with Alex, but he perceives everything as a game of children's imagination. It turns out later that the baby is right - they are really pursued an unknown person with initially obscure, but then increasingly hostile intentions. He is the former lover of the woman whom Muano married and is not going to tolerate the fact that his former lover will go to another man. Both the Italian and then the French police cannot understand the motives of the pursuer, and for the time being simply do not believe travelers. But after Fabio kills the police who stopped him, they rush after him. However, Fabio is elusive and catching the Italian police is beyond his power. The persecutor knows the route of Alex and Mark in great detail, down to the hotel in which they will spend the night on their way from Paris to Rome. Alex advises Mark not to tell his mother anything about the terrible pursuer. Then they decide to trick Fabio and turn into the mountains. When crossing the Franco-Italian border, the police inform passengers that the van chasing them was found burnt in a ditch, and the driver died. It seems to the man and the boy that their nightmare has finally ceased, but they are mistaken. While driving along the mountain roads, the Ford appears again, and the goal of Fabio is no longer just to chase, but to kill the people he is chasing. After an exciting chase, during which Muano’s car gets seriously damaged, while Fabio’s van drops the wheel, there is a lull and Alex and Mark reach a Paris in a half-wrecked car, where they will be shocked again - the car chasing them is standing at the entrance to their house ... Muano he hides the boy from his neighbors, and he decides to deal with the maniac attempting on their lives. At this time, Fabio is trying to rape his ex-wife, but Alex who entered the house prevents this. A fight ensues, during which Nicole picks up the fallen gun Fabio and kills him.
