A couple running a grocery store is found murdered. The prime suspect is their own son, Jean-Michel, a brilliant student. When Elizabeth Massot meets the young man, she becomes intrigued by the relationship he had with his parents and starts drawing parallels between Jean-Michel’s situation and her own volatile relationship with son Guillaume.
