When Frank insistently points out to his boss that there are security problems with e-banking and then attempts to recover an elderly client’s money that was lost on the Internet, he loses his job. Even worse, he is publicly defamed as a swindler and lands in prison. From that moment on, everything goes awry: his ex-wife has a new lover and wants to limit his contact with their son Tim; the corrupt policeman Max attempts to ensnare him in a bank fraud; and finally even his friends want to help him! Although they mean well, those who know his friends – Andy, a mechanic and hippie; Ozzy, a has-been boxer; Aldo, a florist; and Silvia, a courtesan – also know that with their help things can only get worse.
