A high-octane, morally murky thriller built on relentless pursuit and escalating violence, where an ordinary man is forced into a criminal underworld to save his pregnant wife.

Samuel Pierret is a nurse who saves the wrong guy – a thief whose henchmen take Samuel's pregnant wife hostage to force him to spring their boss from the hospital. A race through the subways and streets of Paris ensues, and the body count rises. Can Samuel evade the cops and the criminal underground and deliver his beloved to safety?
