A man is accused of murdering his wife. His lawyer must defend him against all odds, and especially against himself.

Nicolas Millik is accused of having killed his alcoholic wife, but Maître Monier, his lawyer who didn't defend any criminal since the case of a serial killer, fifteen years before, believes him to be innocent. Millik is a good father, more worried about the future of his five children than about his own fate. Maître Monier will cross some red lines to prove him innocent. Will he succeed?
