Messengers introduces a young career woman accustomed to a life of luxury, working for a renowned Italian fashion house. Her world crumbles overnight when the company suddenly declares bankruptcy, leaving her high and dry. Desperate to escape her dire situation and cling to her privileged past, she makes a rash decision: attempting to flee with the last remaining company asset, a striking red Alpha Romeo sports car.

However, her reckless getaway takes an unfortunate turn when she collides with a bicycle messenger. With no funds to pay for the resulting damages or settlement, she finds herself in an impossible bind. Stripped of her former life and left with no other choice, she is compelled to take on the very job she inadvertently disrupted, becoming a bicycle messenger herself.
