A dark, melancholic crime drama about obsession and grief, where a woman's well-intentioned deception unravels the fragile lives of two damaged people.

Vincent's life is on hold until he finds his wife's killer. Alice, his neighbor, is convinced she can make him happy. She decides to invent a culprit, so that Vincent can find revenge and leave the past behind. But there is no ideal culprit and no perfect crime.
