The story follows Madeleine (Rebecca Marder) and Antoine (Benjamin Lavernhe), a young, ambitious couple with staunch left-wing convictions. While preparing for their ENA exams in Corsica, a sudden, violent encounter on a deserted road leads to a fatal accident: Madeleine kills a man in self-defense. Terrified of ruining their future careers, the couple decides to flee and keep the death a secret.
