Synopsis:

Dan Gillis, an American screenwriter living in Paris, recently abandoned by his wife, and getting used to his new life as a bachelor while trying to take care of his son, Danny - is commissioned to write a script. The offer comes from Legrand, a successful producer with whom he has worked in the past, but on this occasion he is being asked to write an unconventional story with Malcolm, a young and unknown film director. Dan is undecided about the offer, seeing it as far from the kind of work he has grown used to, but Legrands insistence and the intrigue personality of the young director finally convince him to accept the work despite the reticence of Marilyn, his beautiful but disabled agent. As he starts to work, Dan discovers that there is more at stake than just a movie. His life will be changed as he immerses himself in the closed universe of incestuous relations surrounding Malcolm and his beautiful young sister Jenny, with whom Dan soon becomes obsessed. Dan's infatuation with Jenny forces him to search for clues about the whole business of the making of this film. In this quest, he discovers that he has been conned and is caught within a web of greed and ambition from which he will be unable to escape.

Recently abandoned by his wife and having become something of a bachelor, Dan Gillis (Goldblum) is commissioned to write a script with an up and coming british director, who's alluring sister Jenny is difficult for both of them to resist. Dan does some secret detective work about the director, and becomes locked into a wed of deception and greed.
