During a hunting party in the South of France, Katrien De Schrijver shoots her husband. She is arrested and charged with murder. The incident leads to an impressive chain of events as Katrien belongs to a family which moves in highly placed political and business circles in Belgium. Her 'deed' acts as a bombshell which threatens to blow up the lives not only of those directly involved, but of the whole establishment and political system.
