During the frightening event, Théo showed exceptional bravery and saved his friends’ lives by keeping them from separating. United in the face of danger, they stuck together at all costs. After this tragic episode, the three friends became inseparable. They were friends for life! Twenty years later, Théo is married to a woman named Marine and has a 5-year-old daughter named Julie. But Théo devotes all his energy to his job, and ends up burning out and falling into a deep depression. When Marine has a professional opportunity to fly to Rio de Janeiro for a few days, she hesitates—would Théo be able to manage on his own? Maxime and Julien immediately come to the rescue: Marine can leave with her mind at ease, and they will watch over Théo and little Julie in her absence. But the Rio-Paris return flight crashes on the day Marine is expected to return. The tragedy felt is immense, and they are all left in a complete stupor. As soon as he hears the news, Théo crumbles. Without Marine, his life has no meaning. He considers doing the unthinkable. But was Marine really on the flight? There is a gray area in her schedule for that day, and her return reservations kept changing. To keep their friend from doing something senseless, Maxime and Julien grab hold of these facts to insinuate doubt in Théo’s mind, and, pushing things to a logical conclusion, end up making him believe that Marine is still alive. But how deep do they have to dig this lie to keep it up? In order for their affirmations to seem credible, they put together a bewildering plan. Actors are involved, documents are faked, official statements are edited—in their minds, they must use any means necessary in order to save their friend.
