Rebellious French party girl Sabrina Dunand and Swiss doctor Erich Kestenholtz conspire to kill wealthy entrepreneur Konrad Albrecht, so that Erich can steal his identity, along with twenty million euros in rare art works. This taut, suspenseful and poetic story captures the sex, romance, cynicism and violence of a peculiar slice of the European demimonde. With Interpol agents just minutes behind them, the fugitives flee through France for the south coast of Spain in Konrad's Bentley, the stolen art works in the trunk. The police pursuit gathers momentum from all points of the compass, yet Erich and Sabrina make it safely to Granada to fence the paintings through a Spanish conspirator, growing closer together in their unified flight from the law, from reality, and from their dark past lives.
A high-speed, eight-car chase takes villains and heroes to the final showdown within sight of Gibraltar, where Sabrina and Erich plan to escape by boat. Erich's wife, Brigitte, and Sabrina's boss, Lorenzo, are destined to become rail meat on this tumultuous voyage, a kinetic story of a madman addled by more than one dark force.
