Axelle doesn't care about anything; she doesn't care what other people think! She drives her taxi through Paris every night, only accepting customers who want very specific rides.

One night, a stranger leaves her handbag in Axelle's taxi, and her life is turned upside down. A body is thrown into the Seine, compromising photos are found, an old man is held captive... Axelle learns that morality is an obstacle to happiness and that no one is indispensable.
