Synopsis

Many men would lay down their lives for an enticing knockout like Mercedes. But beauty and charm can be fickle - they can open many doors, but also lead to destruction. Her boyfriend Rainer knows this all too well, watching her feminine wiles distract the customs officers. Once they've smuggled their kilo of cocaine into the city, all that is left to do is sell it to their contact. A bundle of cash is a great cure for a faltering relationship - or so they think. When Mercedes loses her favourite music tape, they fail to recognize it as a fatal omen. Harry is an airport cabbie. Divorced, lonely, resigned to the emptiness of life, his is a solitary existence. When he finds the tape in his cab, he stuffs it into the glove box - who knows when he might reacquaint himself with the captivating woman who dropped it? Harry may not know it, but his world is about to get a lot more interesting.
