Eurochannel premieres Payback, an emotional thriller about justice and revenge. Payback follows the story of Achile, a teenager who tries to recover from a vicious attack in Paris.

There when he meets Brian, a violent young man, Achile faces his demons to become what he always feared. Inspired by a true story, Payback is an unusual, hybrid film that oscillates between a teenage chronicle and genre film.

Adding to that, the thought-provoking theme of post-traumatic stress is at the heart of this engaging production as viewers witness the harrowing transformation of its leading character.
