His seemingly ordinary life takes a dramatic turn when he is deceived by a captivating woman named Claire, played by Natacha Krief. Claire convinces Mady to unlock an empty apartment under the guise of retrieving a bag, only to vanish with it. The twist? The bag belongs to mob boss Yannick, portrayed by Romain Duris, and is stuffed with cash. Yannick, convinced that Mady is part of Claire’s scheme, is hot on his trail.
Desperate to clear his name, Mady races against time to track down Claire and return the money to Yannick.
