A comedic caper about two ordinary guys caught in an escalating web of absurd circumstances involving criminals, media sensationalism, and mistaken identity.

After stealing a gaming console from migrants, Sébastien tries to sell it to Patrick, a good guy. So far, nothing too serious. But when a rapper straight out of jail, a TV host willing to do anything to go viral and click traffickers get involved... Sébastien and Patrick become France’s most wanted bad guys.
