The plot
Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter", who moves goods - human or otherwise - from one place to another. No questions asked.
Carrying out mysterious and sometimes dangerous tasks in his black, tricked out BMW 735, Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks: "never change the deal," "no names," "never open the package."
