Synopsis
In Paris of the near future, two gun-smoking thieves owe money to a mysterious American woman. The two-week payoff deadline is pressuring them. The two men will come up with the perfect idea: steal and sell the antidote to a super-disease that infects and kills lovers. Only for this job they'll need someone with firm and flexible hands, so they'll recruit a young rebel who's just broken up with his girlfriend. Unexpected encounters, dangerous crossroads and a bold rescue plan. Will they make it?
