Acclaimed British mystery writer Sarah Morton craves an escape from the drudgery of London's gray skies and finds herself accepting an invitation from her obliging publisher, John Bosload, to reside in his picturesque Luberon home in the sun-drenched South of France. During the tranquil off-season, Sarah immerses herself in the area's tranquil beauty, allowing the unhurried rhythm of the countryside to rejuvenate her creative spirit. However, this serene solitude is abruptly shattered with the unexpected arrival of Julie, John's captivating yet capricious French daughter. With her unapologetically seductive demeanor and impulsive lifestyle, Julie becomes a jarring contrast to Sarah's composed, conservative existence. Their worlds collide in a whirlpool of tension and intrigue, as Sarah's prim English reserve is fiercely challenged by Julie's audacious conduct.
