Jonathan and Lucie Hopkins have only been married a few months and life is already a nightmare.
Jonathan is a fragile man, raised in poverty by his single mother. He suspects Lucie of lying to him and is thinking of divorcing her…
Summoned to a notary’s office, he learns that his father, whom he never knew, has left him a huge fortune! Jonathan is ecstatic. Lucie is suddenly the victim of a serious car accident. When he enters the hospital room, Jonathan discovers, in Lucie’s place, a woman of incredible beauty, paralysed and unable to speak…
By what miracle does this complete stranger have identification papers in her handbag, complete with a photo, proving that she is Jonathan’s wife?
What has become of the real Mrs Hopkins?
