Synopsis:

Maximilien Chêne has big gambling losses; his disgusted wife tosses him. A corporate client offers an impossible job: help the boss's nephew close a major deal without the nephew know he's being coached. If Max succeeds, he'll be paid enough to settle his debts. The nephew, Patrick, is a milquetoast, pushed around by staff, agreeable to a fault, and unable to express his interest in Vanessa, a colleague. How can he, in a week, learn the skills to negotiate with tough-minded Chinese? Max devises a strategy: he offers to help Patrick gain Vanessa's attention. Within a few days, a complication arises. What chance does Max have? Can the coach improvise?

Under pressure from mounting gambling debts, and with his wife with leaving him, life coach Maximilien Chene is at his wits end. When a corporate client offers him a perfectly impossible job Max knows if he can pull it off he can get his life back. The job? Help the bosss nephew to close a major deal. The catch? Dont let the nephew know hes being coached. When Patrick, the nephew, turns out to be the worst businessman hes ever met, Max must use all the tricks of the trade and a few new ones to turn things around.
