The French Mans

On his way to work, Vincent, in his thirties, picks up a ringing cell phone from the ground and answers it. He hears a woman screaming and a threatening voice saying, “If you're not there by 5 p.m., we'll kill your wife.” Alban, his 45-year-old colleague with a fiery temperament, already sees himself as the hero of the day and urges Vincent to take action.

Vincent and Alban have been kidnapped by Mr. Hermann, the man whose wife was abducted and who is trying to find her. Suspecting the two colleagues of stealing the ransom money, he condemns them to certain death by forcing them to take an empty briefcase to the meeting place set by the kidnappers, dangerous members of an Albanian gang.

After a chase and a shootout at the departmental agency's offices, Vincent and Alban manage to escape with Madame Hermann. But the long-awaited reunion with her husband does not go as planned.

Targeted by an enemy who has sworn to eliminate them, Vincent and Alban now live under false identities in the Moroccan desert. But when Alban learns that his mother is seriously ill, Vincent, who dreams of seeing Louise again, convinces him that it's time to flee and finally return to Beaucastel. They strike a deal with a crook to obtain false papers.

In a Moroccan prison, Vincent and Alban are threatened with death if they don't carry out a dangerous mission: find out where one of their fellow inmates, Attila, a bloodthirsty psychopath, has hidden a shipment of drugs. With Christmas approaching and their hearts set on returning home to their loved ones, the situation seems hopeless.

Following a misunderstanding, Vincent and Alban are mistaken for scientists who are experts in biological weapons and find themselves members of a mercenary commando unit searching for VX, a formidable biological weapon that they must steal from a high-security laboratory in Scotland.
