In the wake of the Paris 2015 terrorist attacks, an au pair is arrested after the sudden and suspicious death of her nine-year-old charge. The truth behind what happened is unravelled through six women: Geraldine, a heartbroken French teacher who struggles to connect with her vulnerable students; Lou, a wildly incompetent au pair whose host family fires her in the middle of the night; Charlotte, a French mother determined to rise above her born social class whatever the cost to her relationship with her three children; Holly, an anxious au pair who yearns to feel at home in Paris; Nathalie, an isolated French teenager desperate for a mother; and finally, Alena, the au pair accused of killing a child. All of them play a part in nine-year-old Julien's death.
