Loursat, a lawyer, lives with his daughter Nicole in a sinister and vast bourgeois residence. Abandoned for nearly twenty years by his wife, the brilliant lawyer has sunk into alcoholism and his relationship with his daughter is virtually non-existent.

Nicole, who frequents a gang of young people who escape boredom by stealing cars and other objects, is immediately suspected.
