Summary
The young and seductive Rémi is a lady’s man of the first
degree. He knows that women find his charms irresistible and he
exploits the fact to his advantage, oblivious to the hearts he may
break along the way. Rémi’s present entourage includes
Nathalie, who loves him with indifference, Lisette, who loves him with
a childish playfulness, Agathe, who loves him passionately, and
Chloé, who loves him with a fierce possessiveness bordering on
sociopathic obsession. Of these, Chloé is the most
dangerous, and, jealous of her rivals, she accuses Rémi of
murdering her boyfriend. To clear his name, Rémi begins
his own investigation, assisted by Lisette and Agathe. Along the
way, Rémi meets Cecilia, an alluring woman who proves to be a
far greater interest to him than the solution of the murder mystery...
