Each and every day in our country, terrorist movements and intelligence services wage a merciless war in the name of diametrically opposed ideologies. Nevertheless, terrorists and secret agents alike lead almost the exact same life. Condemned to clandestinity, their manipulative strategies employ the exact same methods. Alex (Gerard Lanvin) and Al Barad (Simon Abkarian) are two of them. One at the head of the Counter-espionage unit of the D.G.S.E.(Directorate-general for external security), and the other the leader of an Islamist network, they will clash, not hesitating to use the most deadly of all weapons: human beings! "Secrets of state" follows their covert war through the destinies of Diane (Vahina Giocante), a beautiful young student who joins the French secret service, and Pierre (Nicolas Duvauchelle), a misfit who believes he’s found his salvation in radical Islamism. Recruited, trained and indoctrinated for missions beyond their understanding, they are both caught up in a fatal spiral from which there is no escape but death. Will they both be sacrificed in the name of their would-be "noble" causes?
