Unconventional, troubled, and suicidal, the beautiful small-town girl and the family's black sheep, Dominique Marceau, moves into a cramped Parisian apartment with her violin student sister, Annie, to flee from a suffocating life in the province. However, instead of finding liberty in the bohemian city of light, the liberated Dominique will find herself accused of a hideous and shocking crime: the gruesome murder of her young lover and hopeful conductor, Gilbert Tellier--Annie's soon-to-be husband. Little by little, as both judge and jury delve deeper and deeper into Dominique's lifestyle and her past, a provocative social kaleidoscope starts taking shape. Was Tellier's killing premeditated or was this a crime of passion?
