Vincent is a teenager who has been tenderly raised by his mother, Marie, but she has always kept from him the name of his father.  The adolescent is curious to know the identity of his father and, after some probing, discovers that the absent parent is Oscar Pormenor, an egoistical and cynical man who works in Paris as a publisher.  Determined to get even with his father, Vincent embarks on a violent plan of revenge, but a chance encounter with Joseph, a man living on the margins, is about to change his life, as well as that of his mother...
