The journey of a betrayed woman. All it took was a phone call. She had been happy. Their love had been the most important thing in her life. Until the day she discovered that her husband was leading two lives.

A writer and war reporter, she finds herself plunged in a very different kind of pain, the pain of betrayal. Devastated by this unbearable lie, she is overwhelmed and flirts with insanity. Now it is her turn to lie. She observes the traitor without saying a word. She lives with him and puts up with the weight and heat of his body. She hides out in their apartment and roams swingers’ clubs, sinking further and further each day.

But the truth eventually explodes. He reacts with icy silence. She finds herself alone with her desire for revenge. And then she crosses paths with Sylvan, a former crook who is now homeless. A strange friendship slowly blossoms between these two lost souls. Sylvan hardly looks like a guardian angel, and yet it is thanks to him that she will finally manage to break free and exact the revenge she so desires.
