---

Shortly after his girlfriend breaks up with him because he doesn't make much money, deliveryman Pierre-Paul Daoust (Alexandre Landry) witnesses a robbery that goes horribly wrong. Shocked, almost without thinking, he grabs the two large bags stuffed full with money left on the road by the sole survivor of the drama, who was seriously injured, and hides them at his home.

He then rents a locker to store the money in and invites Aspasie (Maripier Morin), the most expensive escort in Montreal, to his home, but soon discovers his actions have earned him suspicion from the two police detectives on the case. Not only that, but the money turns out to belong to organized crime and if anyone finds out Pierre-Paul has the cash, he'll be in grave danger.
