Quentin's life has never been interesting. This young dad, a minor employee of a company that manufactures urinals, is pushed over, every single day. Too nice, he is under constant pressure from his boss, who wants to fire him, and from his ex-wife, who is asking for a divorce. One day, he accidentally witnesses an armed altercation in the toilets of a gas station. Having no choice but to intervene, he discovers that the woman he saved, Blanche, actually works for Knok, a secret participatory application, which allows to order murders. An embarrassing witness, Quentin realizes that he can no longer back down: he will have no choice but to become a contract killer himself for Knok, thus beginning his professional retraining.

La vie de Quentin n’a jamais été trépidante. Ce jeune papa, petit employé d’une société fabricant des urinoirs, se fait quotidiennement marcher dessus. Trop gentil et transparent, Il est sous la pression constante de son patron, qui souhaite le licencier, et de son ex-femme, qui demande le divorce. Un jour, il assiste par accident à une altercation armée dans les toilettes d’une station-service. N’ayant pas d’autre choix que celui d’intervenir, il découvre que la femme qu’il a sauvée, Blanche, travaille en réalité pour Knok, une application participative secrète, qui permet de commanditer des meurtres. Témoin gênant, Quentin se rend compte qu’il ne peut désormais plus reculer : il n’aura d’autre choix que de devenir lui-même tueur à gages pour Knok, entamant ainsi sa reconversion professionnelle.
