Rather than pursue a professional career worthy of his intellect and exam results, Vincent prefers to work as an airport baggage handler.

One day, Gérard is killed in an explosion when he opens a case belonging to a Syrian diplomat. The French security services offer Vincent a deal he can hardly refuse. Either he goes to prison for serial theft or helps find those who are implicated in the explosion...
