The true story of Maureen Kearney (Isabelle Huppert), the head union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse.

Her life was turned upside down when she was violently assaulted in her own home... The investigation is carried out under pressure: the subject is sensitive. Suddenly, new elements create doubt in the minds of the investigators. At first a victim, Maureen becomes a suspect.
