Vincent (Jacques Dutronc) is a world-weary lawyer who quits his job after he fails to successfully defend a client. He drops out of society and travels to Paris in hopes of establishing a relationship with his estranged daughter Alice (Helene Rolles). Alice is living under the protective domain of Vincent's former in-laws, who make it difficult for him to see his child. Vincent enlists the help of George (Arthur Wilkins) and Martha (Tanya Lopert), two Americans struggling to keep their Parisian restaurant from going under. He manages to gain access to his father-in-law's computer and obtains secret information in hopes of regaining the custody of his daughter.
