Synopsis

BAMAKO, MALI, 2007
Ladji, a 20 year old man, works hard as a prantiké (bus driver) to get out his older sister, Aminata,
from prostitution.
As he doesn’t get the promotion he was expecting, he decides to contact Driss, a drug dealer
who owes him a favour.
Assisted by his two mischievous friends Houphouet and Zol, Ladji carries kilos of cocaine from
Conakry to Bamako. His rapid rise to the top of the drug trafficking underworld, gives him easy
