GABRIELLE Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier) has a high profile job presenting the weather on French television and despite her staunch work ethic, she values her privacy over her professional career and lives in a modest house with her ageing mother.

One day, renowned author Charles Saint-Denis (Francois Berleand) is interviewed at the television station where Gabrielle works, and the two feel an instant, powerful connection.

Later, at a book signing, the pair continue to flirt despite the presence of a spoiled, ultra-rich, pharmaceutical heir, Paul Gaudens (Benoit Magimel) – who openly despises the writer and longs to claim Gabrielle as his own.

No matter that Charles is still happily married to his wife of 25 years, he and Gabrielle share an intimate afternoon at the author's nearby pied-a-terre.

Later, as the potentially psychotic Paul steps up his pursuit of Gabrielle, the young woman begins to question the purity of intention of either of her suitors.
