Christian Legagneur is the host of a popular television talent show and engages a young reporter, Roland Wolf, to write his biography. Unbeknown to Legagneur, Wolf's motivation to take on the job was to allow him to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his younger sister, who was once a close friend of Legagneur's daughter. Whilst staying at his employer's country house, Wolf discovers that Legagneur has a sinister secret and that he may not be the genial, chivalrous individual that he appears to be on the television.
