Callum is about to go home on Eurostar after a disastrous exchange visit to Paris. There was no epic adventure, summer fling and his French language is no better. He misses his train having a panic attack and decides to stay and make the most of the rest of the summer.
His fortunes turn around and he has a crazy, chaotic 48 hour adventure including a priceless Matisse painting, a police chase, protest and meeting French girl, Lilou.
