On one side there is Tiphaine, Sylvain and Maxime, and on the other there is Laetitia, David and Milo. They are neighbours and soon both the parents and children become inseparable.
But this perfect painting violently explodes the day Laetitia witnesses a tragic accident which takes the life of little Maxime. Haunted by the guilt and the pain of having lost someone she loved like a son, she spirals into a dangerous paranoia she thinks Tiphaine hates her and wants revenge and is planning to kill Milo who is a daily reminder of the child she lost.
But is it really just a figment of her imagination or has her friend really become her worst enemy?
