At first sight, the Laurent family has it all: a beautiful house, influential friends, social status. Bu the devil is in the details. There’s been an accident at the construction site of Anne’s company’s project. Little Eve’s hamster dies, and her mother finds herself in a hospital. There are only the first signs of an abyss, which the Laurents so desperately try to hide.
