Der für die kriminelle Klientel arbeitende Kurierfahrer Frank Martin plant alle Einsätze bis ins kleinste Detail und vergisst nie seine beiden ehernen Regeln: Stelle keine Fragen und mache niemals ein Paket auf. Bis zu jenem Tag, als der ultralässige Kerl mit seinen Prinzipien bricht und das zappelnde Frachtstück in seinem Kofferraum öffnet.

Und als wäre das nicht genug, ist plötzlich auch noch eine schießfreudige Mafiosi-Bande hinter dem gut gebauten Stoiker her.
