Overview
Jin is a young illegal Chinese immigrant in Paris. He works in a fraudulent taxi scheme for the Triads. The only memory of his past as a DJ in Beijing is the inspiring sophisticated electro music he plays in his car when he drives.

But as they grow closer, Jin will have to betray dangerous people.
