Jodie Foster plays Lilian Steiner, an American psychiatrist adrift in Paris — divorced, estranged from her son, and losing herself in her patients' troubles. When one of her patients is found dead in an apparent suicide, Steiner can't let it go. Armed with little more than professional instinct and the reluctant company of her ex-husband played by Daniel Auteil, she begins to dig. What unfolds is part Hitchcockian thriller and part wry relationship comedy.
