Patience Portefeux is a French-Arabic translator in charge of phone surveillance for the Paris narcotics police unit. When she decides to cover for the son of someone she knows, she becomes more and more deeply involved in the world of drug trafficking.

Transforming into the savvy Mama W**d, Patience begins to use her insider police knowledge to earn the extra income she desperately needs to pay for her aging mother's long-term care.
