Mark Barrett, is owner and sole employee of NQA Courier Services. Delivering packages across Europe, he works in that grey area somewhere between almost and legal. After a date with a beautiful woman goes badly wrong he ends up in the police cells. The following morning his bail is paid by disgraced EU Commissioner Jack Maundy, who offers him a job: to hand-deliver three packages to three people in three European cities in five days. The packages are Maundy's insurance policy, in advance of his going to trial on charges of embezzling 81 billion Euros. An easy job, Maundy tells Mark, but one that needs doing quickly. What could go wrong?.
