La aparición de un misterioso cadáver justo en la frontera entre Quebec y Ontario ocasiona que dos policías de diferentes provincias estén obligados a trabajar conjuntamente debido a una circunstancia muy especial.

Los problemas surgen por las grandes diferencias de ambos, no sólo en sus características personales sino también por el método de trabajo que utilizan. Mientras Martin es metódico, disciplinado y sumamente respetuoso con la ley, David interpreta las normas legales bajo su particular prisma, pasando por alto leyes y reglamentos formales para utilizar criterios poco ortodoxos.

In an ethereal, high-ceilinged room, women stand, waiting. Perhaps it's Purgatory and they're dead. In the room, two young women, one an actress and the other a psychologist, watch the last few days of their lives on a TV screen. Both are having affairs with married men, each has a long encounter with her lover's wife, and both these scenes take place in a ladies' room, one backstage at a play that's about to preview, the other at an opera house during the first act. The relationships between each pair of younger and older women take surprising turns, and in the room with the TV, a sylph asks probing and challenging questions of the two young women as they watch.
