Philandering industrialist Stanislas Graff (Yvan Attal) is kidnapped, with his ransom set at 50 million euros. After his finger is chopped off to prove the abductors’ seriousness, his wife, Francoise (Anne Consigny), meets with the board of directors to discuss how to raise the money quickly – but evidence of Stanislas’ adultery and gambling make the company reluctant to pay. As rumours spread that Stanislas staged the kidnapping to take care of his debts, public sentiment turns against him.
