From the comfort of his country house, politician Germain Dagenais visits pornographic websites on the Internet, unbeknownst to his wife. One night he discovers, to his horror, that his own daughter is scheduled to strip in a live video that very week. Germain leaves for Montreal in the hope of preventing Nathalie, his angel, from doing the irreparable. But the day of the shoot, the actor who was to initiate Nathalie into the profession is found dead. Did Nathalie decide to throw it all in at the last moment? Did Germain see out his mission to the extreme? Audience sympathies shift constantly thanks to great performances across the board, not least from Michel Côté (last seen as the acclaimed C.R.A.Z.Y ) as the guilt-ridden father and rising star Karine Vanasse as his wayward daughter. This gripping thriller unfolds in non-linear fragments, like the pieces of a puzzle whose bigger picture is not revealed until the surprising final act.
