Agnes receives a phone call in which a man named Philippe gives her a rendez-vous. Thinking it is Philippe, her fiance, with whom she just had a fight who want to kiss and make-up, Agnes decides to meet him, even though she is grounded. When she arrives at the meeting place, she is welcomed by gangsters who ask her to mellow Frank, a gangster who double-crossed them.
