Summary
David Pelame is a 40-something lawyer who is stuck in the proverbial
middle-aged rut. His career has become as dull and predictable as
his home life. Instead of being the highflying legal eagle he
once dreamed of becoming, he is now no more than a pen-pushing
functionary, filling his days with mundane tasks. Then, one
Christmas, Fate gives him a chance to break out of his monotonous
routine. He comes across a suitcase filled with cocaine and a
telephone buzzing with calls from eager clients. Is this the
lucky break David has been waiting for, or the beginning of his
nightmare...?
