Synopsis

Alex is a drug-dealer and swindler with a violent streak. When one of his clients, a student named François, fails to give him the money he is owed, he reacts as he always reacts, by beating up his debtor. François’ girlfriend Fred intervenes but she finds she is strangely drawn to Alex. Later, at a nightclub Fred meets a young woman of her own age, Sylvia, who turns out to be easy prey for a scheme she is hatching. Fred’s plan is to observe Alex as he seduces Sylvia. Things begin well: both Sylvia and Alex take the bait and the three young people find themselves in a luxury hotel suite, paid for by Alex’s ill-gotten gains. But, inevitably, complications arise. Fred has underestimated the complexity of her two victims, and has also misinterpreted her own feelings for Alex…
