- Summary:
- An innocent accountant gets pulled into the Saigon underworld for the adventure of a lifetime. In the year 1948, Victor Levallois is a young accountant leading a quiet and uneventful life. But things take an unexpected turn when a colleague entrusts him with an unusual errand: deliver a suitcase full of U.S. currency to the port of Marseille. The suitcase is stolen and Victor finds himself bound for Saigon and the decadence, intrigue and adventure of a colonial war. Victor Levallois is no longer living his life by the numbers. Explore the dark corners of Indochina during the years that set the stage for the Vietnam War.
