The spider at the center of a murderous web of deception, Isabelle Huppert stars as Mika, wife of virtuoso pianist Andre Polonski (Jacques Dutronc) and stepmother to his son, Guillaume, whose mother died in a car wreck on his sixth birthday. When a young pianist, Jeanne (Anna Mouglalis), learns that she and Guillaume were almost exchanged at birth, she takes the opportunity to introduce herself, believing she might in fact be Andre's daughter. Welcomed into the Polonski home, Andre makes her his pupil. But behind the facade of perfection, something is not quite right. Jeanne becomes suspicious of the seemingly benevolent Mika and the hot chocolate that she prepares each night for the whole family.
