Nina is a young, carefree actress who arrives in Paris searching for her big break. There, she finds drama both on- and offstage as she becomes involved with three men: a mild-mannered real-estate agent who offers her stability, a bad-boy actor who lives dangerously on the edge, and an intense theater director who casts her in a production of “Romeo and Juliet.” As opening night approaches, the emotional extremes of Nina’s love life fuel her art.

In the woods, a 13-year-old boy is grabbed by an escaped convict and told to bring money later that day. The boy does as he's told, only to be attacked by the convict's partner. A murder ensues, and through happenstance, the murderer and the boy's mother form an alliance. All this takes place in four days during which the boy has his first communion, his separated parents face each other amidst grandmother's hopes they'll reunite, the grandfather just wants to go fishing, the school's chaplain complains about the boy's behavior, and the convicts' shared girlfriend comes, gun in hand, to help them escape to Tangier. The mother's surprising decisions complete the story.

But today they are stone broke.

Just how are they to find this amount of money when none of them has any capacity for work?

Clara and George Kessler, the father-and-daughter detective team leading the inquiry, are certain the crime is connected to the war being waged between livestock farmers and environmentalists ever since wolves were reintroduced into the valley. Among locals, far-fetched theories are stirring panic-could a werewolf be terrorizing the valley? For the Kesslers, the murder will uncover a secret that may not be supernatural, but is just as shocking.
