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, Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks; never change the deal, no names, never look in the package.
Frank's newest 'transport' seems no different from the countless ones he's done in the past. He has been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" to make a delivery, but when Frank stops along route, he notices his "package" is moving. Violating one of his own rules, Frank looks inside the bag, finding its contents to be a beautiful, gagged woman.
Frank's steadfast adherence to his other two rules - which make up his basic code of survival - also quickly falls, hurtling him and his new companion on a road leading to shocking secrets, deadly complications, and the last thing Frank ever expected to come to believe: rules are made to be broken.
