The story of a self-controlled, rule-based and extremely dull lawyer, who is sent to Nice to handle a simple divorce case. He is fish-out-of water: as soon as he sets foot on French soil, everything goes wrong - he messes up big time, is cheated for $2 million company money, and his future suddenly looks less than bright. Fortunately, he stumbles into an old friend, a frivolous gambler of easy virtue, and together they conjure up a James Bond-style plan, to get his fortune back from the hustlers.
