Luc is a brilliant young architect with a budding reputation. Opinionated, charming, and confident, he lives with his beautiful wife in the stunning countryside of Quebec.

Caught in a triangle of emotions, Luc puts everything in jeopardy to pursue his affair, threatening to destroy the life he has built and the woman he loves.
