Jessica has moved from her small Burgundian town to Paris to start a new life, inspired by her grandmother, who "always loved luxury". While working at a chic bistro, on Avenue Montaigne, Jessica meets a number of people who are all dealing with various life crises or changes: A popular TV actress, a wealthy art collector, a famous classical pianist. All three face pivotal turning points in their lives on the same night, with Jessica as a thread between all three. She will have a transforming effect on them.
