Alfred and his friend Guy are out of money. Alfred's wife Anna arranges a job with drug lord Spike. They're given the task of transporting $25 million worth of XTC-pills from Amsterdam to Barcelona. However, they're expected to make phone calls at five phone boxes along the route to check if they are keeping to the schedule. Anna is taken as a hostage in the process, so they're forced to finish the job. No matter the cost.
