A young woman named Michèle Isola is badly burned in a horrific fire.  After surgical intervention, Dr Doulin is hopeful that she will recover her good looks, but she still suffers from amnesia.  After a few days’ rest, Michèle feels better physically but not mentally.  Dr Doulin allows her to receive her first visit, from her former nanny Jeanne Murneau.  A week later, Michèle is able to go home, where Jeanne will take care of her.  With Michèle keen to know about her past, Jeanne has a lot questions to answer.  She finally decides to tell Michèle that she had a cousin, Dominique, but she died in the fire.  She also had a godmother named Raffermi, from whom she will inherit a large sum of money on her 21st birthday.  Michèle will also become the manager of a global shoe business.  From that day, Michèle becomes worried about Jeanne’s real intentions and is suspicious that she may be hiding other things from her.   In an attempt to regain her memory, Michèle starts her own investigation, first by visiting a Raffermi shop in town.  This is only the start of a harrowing ordeal to discover the truth...
