The young Bastien works as an assistant for the rich and famous television producer Jean-Louis Broustal. When he saw potential in Bastien, he invited him to spend a weekend with him and his wife Clara on his country estate. Bastien accepts the offer because he wants to show his role model his skills. Soon he becomes a puppet of Broustal, whom he always has to be of service. These services can be jogging with the boss or sex with his wife.

At the beginning Bastien takes note of the new situation with amusement, but it turns into a grueling game when Bastien has to remove a corpse. He decides to step down from the service of his boss. However, he does not succeed because he notices it.
