En 1813, la Grande Armée est vaincue à la bataille de Vitoria dans le Royaume d'Espagne. Pendant la débâcle, le lieutenant de dragons Pierre Cursey se fait voler ses chevaux par un fuyard, le sergent François Lemercier. En 1815, après la chute de Napoléon, Cursey part à la recherche de Lemercier, qu'il retrouve dans un village de Dordogne. Ils s'affronteront par le biais d'un sport extrêmement violent, parfois mortel, la soule, chacun dirigeant son équipe.
La Soule is the name of a once-popular and now long-forgotten extremely violent sport with an ancient history, which somewhat resembles rugby. It was not uncommon for players to be left on the playing field after a game, dead or maimed. In this unusual drama, Pierre Cursey (Christophe Malavoy), a former officer in Napolean's army, seeks revenge against Francois Lemercier (Richard Bohringer), one of his soldiers, who betrayed him to the English. His plan is to track the soldier (now a village cobbler) down and humiliate him completely in a game of Soule, preferably one which results in grave injuries. It seems that the soldier's whole sense of pride in himself is invested in participation in this game. Pierre has one difficulty, though, as the nefarious soldier is not only a very good Soule player, but is the captain of a championship-winning Soule team.
