Lately Jacqueline Renaud (Brigitte Paquette), childless and almost forty, has been questioning her marriage to professionally unemployed Michel (Serge Theriault). She suspects that life is passing her by and longs for a bit of excitement. Little does Jacqueline know that she is about to get more excitement than she bargained for! During one of his many nocturnal escapades, Michel meets Maya Papineau (Veronique Bannon) and Vito Valiquette (Jean-Robert Bourdage), a pair of second rate blackmailers who are always on the hunt for a new victim. When Michel expresses his intention to have his wife killed and to collect her life insurance policy, Maya immediately recognizes that this could be the opportunity of a life time. Maya and Vito's elaborate scheme soon gives way to bumbling improvisation. When the æhit' goes sour, Jacqueline outbids her hubby and gives the tables a comic turn. Like everything in life, it's all a matter of choice!
