After fleeing to Paris to escape communist rule, Polish émigré and piano
player Jerzy Wozzeck finds it nearly impossible to support his family on
his low-paying bistro gigs. So when a friend offers a fat payoff for
handling a string of deliveries, Jerzy quickly finds himself in the
uneasy employ of an anonymous suit and his sensual assistant. With a
couple of flawless jobs under his belt, Jerzy starts living the good
life--until, on one such run, he stumbles across a corpse and realizes
his benefactors will go to any lengths to protect their operations.
To ensure his loyalty, Jerzy's patrons ply him with every possible
temptation, from the purest drugs to the most willing women--and he
begins selling his soul piece by piece to maintain his illusion of
prosperity. But when rival crime lords and hit men enter the fray, Jerzy
plots to escape his boss's dirty dealings--only to discover he's in too
deep to get out alive.
