The story of two journalists whose entanglement in a French philosopher's death becomes a surreal journey into global conspiracy.

Manželé Hana a Nathan Mathovi, oba investigativní novináři, se při své hektické práci vídají hlavně na letištích a komunikují spolu především mobilem a přes internet. Oba dělají obskurní případy a oba se snadno zaplétají do sexuálních a životu nebezpečných dobrodružství s lidmi, o nichž píší. Hana chce získat interview od věhlasného francouzského filozofa, který je podezřelý z vraždy své neméně věhlasné manželky, již měl po smrti rozřezat a zčásti zkonzumovat.
