François, a butcher, leads a double life. Unbeknown to his
boring wife, he has fallen in love with a prostitute named
Rachel. The latter's pimp, Denis, decides to blackmail
François with some incriminating photographs.
François has no intention of paying up, so he enlists the help
of one of his relatives to murder the cynical blackmailer.
