A domestic thriller that spirals out of control amidst a tangled web of deceit.

Julien and Marie have enjoyed 15 years of seemingly stable marriage until Anaëlle, Julien’s childhood flame, returns. Her sudden presence awakens old insecurities in Marie, who begins to doubt Julien’s devotion and question her self-worth. Amid this emotional storm, Marie is drawn to Thomas, a charismatic stranger who offers her the validation she craves.

What starts as an innocent flirtation quickly turns into a passionate fling that makes Marie feel alive again. But when Thomas’s obsession with her turns dangerous, Marie realises she’s ignited something far more perilous than she bargained for. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Marie must make an impossible choice before everything falls apart. Will their marriage survive, or will it all spin out of control?
