Drug smuggler Max and outsider on the run JJ forge an unlikely friendship when they become caught up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across north Africa.

In Beirut, deep cover CIA agent Cassie Elliott receives a tip off about an exchange of uranium that has apparently just taken place in the city, close to where Max and JJ are now laying low, and decides to investigate. Meanwhile, Max receives evidence that the cartel has kidnapped his girlfriend Laetitia and he must take the statues all the way to Marrakech if he is to save her.
