In Chartres, the Breuils, at the head of an important perfume group, reign over the city from father to son. Still in Chartres, but light years away from this world of luxury, Daniel Sauveur can no longer bear the insolent wealth of the Breuils and lives off small schemes. When the project he set up with his childhood friend is scuttled by the group, he has only one idea in mind: revenge. He then manages to get hired in the family factory and convinces his colleagues to steal part of the stock.
