Fifty-year-old Daniel Vernant, an ex-cop turned debt collector,
fulfils his “dirty work” without emotion or tact.
One winter’s day, on a roadside restaurant car park, eighteenyear-
old Laura asks him to give her a lift. He accepts. As they are
driving along, she offers her “services” for cash. A furious Daniel
throws her out of the car.
The next day, Daniel goes to see Mrs Savielli to collect her
instalment. The old woman is worried. Her granddaughter, with
whom she lived, has been missing for two days. Daniel recognises
Laura from a photograph. Terribly troubled, he offers to help the
old woman.
