Mit vierzig Jahren glaubt Reine, die Gelassenheit in der Ehe mit Richard gefunden zu haben, einem sanften und aufmerksamen Mann, der zwanzig Jahre älter ist als sie. Doch diese Ruhe wird auf die Probe gestellt, als Gabriel, Richards Sohn, auftaucht, um den Sommer unter ihrem Dach zu verbringen. Gabriel, fünfundzwanzig, ist alles, was Reine verabscheut: arrogant, zynisch, und er begegnet ihr nur mit frostigen Blicken und tückischen Stichen. Er wirft ihr vor, seinen Vater wegen seines Geldes geheiratet zu haben, und sieht in ihr eine Opportunistin. Die Spannung zwischen ihnen ist spürbar, ein explosives Gemisch aus Verachtung und einer unbestreitbaren Anziehung, die sie heftig zu verbergen versuchen. Jedes Abendessen ist ein Schlachtfeld, jede Begegnung im engen Raum des Hauses ein Funke. Alles kippt während eines heftigen Gewitters, als Richard abwesend ist. Ein besonders heftiger Streit lässt sie allein, durchnässt und vor Wut zitternd zurück. Die Beleidigungen weichen plötzlich einem schweren Schweigen, dann einem wilden und befreienden Kuss. Dieser erste Kontakt ist das Vorzimmer einer verzehrenden und verbotenen Leidenschaft. Sie treffen sich heimlich, verwandeln ihren Hass in ein rohes und obsessives Verlangen. Die Argumente werden zu sinnlichen Wettkämpfen, jede Versöhnung wird auf den zerknitterten Laken der nächstgelegenen Alcove gefeiert. Sie erkunden ihre Körper und Grenzen und entdecken, dass unter dem Groll eine unerwartete Vertrautheit und eine geteilte Verwundbarkeit verborgen liegt. Doch der Schatten von Richard lastet auf ihrer Affäre. Jede Lüge drückt schwer auf Reines Gewissen, zerrissen zwischen ihrer Zuneigung zu ihrem Mann und ihrer irrationalen Leidenschaft für Gabriel. Letzterer muss sich zudem seinem eigenen Groll gegen seinen Vater und den komplexen Gefühlen stellen, die ihn mit der Frau verbinden, die er eigentlich hassen sollte. Kann ihre Geschichte die Verräterei und das Gewicht des Geheimnisses überstehen, oder war sie nur ein Strohfeuer, dazu verurteilt, in Schuld zu vergehen?
