Film Synopsis

Five men and a woman who have never met before are brought together in a warehouse in the suburbs of Paris.  The men are former soldiers of the Cold War who survive by offering their services discretely to anonymous employers. The young Irish woman who has arranged to meet them tells them what they must do.  Their mission is to take on another well-armed team and divest them of an important case, whose contents they are ignorant of.  They may have to kill their opponents if they are to succeed, because their opponents will have no qualms about killing them...
