From the moment he first meets Isabelle, Jacques Barroy knows that he is deeply in love.  With scarcely a thought, he immediately puts an end to his affair with Caroline Bessier.  But there are a few things that Jacques doesn’t know.  For one thing, Isabelle and Caroline are half sisters who have always had a difficult relationship.  For another, Isabelle was a famous musician who lost her memory in the middle of a concert and spent two years in a psychiatric institution.  Rejected by the man she loves, Caroline resolves to take her revenge.  She will use what she knows about Isabelle to ruin her future marriage with Jacques...
