A stylish French noir that blends crime-thriller momentum with intimate character study and playful tonal shifts, anchored by a pianist's reluctant entanglement with danger and romance.

Charlie is a former classical pianist who has changed his name and now plays jazz in a grimy Paris bar. When Charlie's brothers, Richard and Chico, surface and ask for Charlie's help while on the run from gangsters they have scammed, he aids their escape. Soon Charlie and Lena, a waitress at the same bar, face trouble when the gangsters arrive, looking for his brothers.
