Jean is a lonely man who is attracted to Madeleine but doesn't want to commit himself to the wife of a friend. On the day that Madeleine tells her husband that she is seeing Jean, Laurent goes looking for Jean to find an explanation.

Madeleine thinks that Laurent was killed by Jean and believes that she can start a new life with her lover. The police have other ideas...
