Synopsis:

Lucrèce (Mélanie Laurent) is the best contract killer in the business. She is looking to go clean but accepts one final job: eliminate an opera singer who owns a tract of land that's desperately wanted by a British oil firm. To get to her target, Lucrèce takes part in a recital that he will be performing in. But when she arrives for rehearsals, she can't bring herself to complete the contract. As the night of the concert approaches, Lucrèce learns that a second hitman has arrived, and that she is his target.

Lucrèce is a contract killer in search of a new life. Specialized in the use of poisons and enamored with opera, she accepts a difficult, final hit in a castle in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Posing as a soprano, Lucrèce must perform on stage during the very prestigious Festival of Ermeux and slaughter one of her co-performers, British baritone Alexander Child, who recently bought a distillery in Scotland, and thus became the only obstacle to a strategic pipeline project with considerable financial ramifications. He just won a long legal battle against British Oil, who now has no other choice but to eliminate him. To complicate things, French counter-espionage learns of the hit and sends Rico, a reinstated former agent, to infiltrate the orchestra, unmask and terminate all who wish harm to Alexander Child. Rico has no information on the killer and has a lot of trouble identifying her amid a horde of suspicious characters: an obnoxious conductor, a particularly proud tenor and a strangely stressed festival director... Throughout rehearsals of Haendel's sublime Messiah, a breathless intrigue begins...and could end in a Requiem...for a killer!
