Brief synopsis

James Reese works as the personal assistant of the American ambassador in Paris. Bolstered by this "insider" position, he is sometimes contacted by the Special Forces, for whom he performs a few minor tasks. This situation is highly frustrating for him, for he dreams of being a secret agent, and longs to come out from the shadows to play the tough guy. Just when he's truly had enough, the preparations for an international summit meeting produce a miracle: he is given a true mission, and a real partner, Wax, who he picks up the very same day from the airport. However, for James, coping with the strong-arm methods of this over-trained agent proves to be no easy task.
