Aimee is faced with a tight deadline on a computer
security contract when a telephone call from a stranger
leads her to an abandoned infant. She brings the baby to
her home and names her Stella. She expects the mother to
reclaim the child, but days pass as Aimee tries in vain to
discover her identity. Her partner, Rene, urges her to
turn the baby over to the authorities, but for Aimee this
is too close to her own abandonment by her mother.
The search brings her among ecological protesters and oil
company tycoons, newspapermen and would-be actresses, as
demonstrators near her home on the Ile Saint-Louis, in the
heart of Paris, march against the pollution of the North
Sea only to be dispersed by armed police.
Two murders and an abortive bombing keep Aimee running
until, in the sewers beneath the Seine, she finds the
woman she has been looking for, only to discover that the
man she has just fallen for is a cold-hearted criminal.
