Captain on a container ship, Marco Silvestri is called urgently back to Paris. His sister, Sandra, is desperate: her husband has committed suicide, the family business has gone under, and her daughter has gone adrift. Sandra accuses the powerful businessman, Edouard Laporte, so Marco moves into the building where Laporte’s mistress lives with his son. But he hasn’t planned for Sandra’s secrets, which muddy the waters.
