Montreal is in the middle of a July heatwave. The wails of sirens echo throughout the city; the crowd comes to life to the rhythm of jazz. Two men embrace in the night. There is a resounding cry: one man is killed. The murderer flees down streets and alleyways and collapses, exhausted, on the waterfront. A few days later, he gives himself up to police. The inspector conducting the investigation endeavours to reconstruct the facts and shed light on the motives that led Yves, a prostitute, to kill his lover. Yves has given himself up but refuses to say anything. The inspector succeeds in drawing out of him pieces of information with which he can reconstruct the events leading to the fatal outcome. Hidden behind the crime are a quest for identity and self-analysis.
