Victoria is a Paris-based criminal lawyer with two kids. As she goes about her days, she has to juggle between fighting her ex-husband who is writing a book on their relationship, exposing all their secrets; defending a friend accused of physical assault by his partner; trying to seek sexual relationships through dating sites; and a potential love affair which she does not know how to deal with – apart from sundry other issues, all screwing up her life.
