A journey straight into the inferno.

We're in the midst of the 2003 heatwave. Lily, a taxi driver, is driving an elderly couple through Cannes. As the temperature rises and the miles flash by, each of the characters is revealed, somewhere between love and violence. Lily is thinking about Jessica, her eldest daughter, a disturbed teen. And about her ex-husband, who left her for a younger woman. And above all, about what's in the trunk... This heatwave creates an almost post-apocalyptic atmosphere that echoes the deep angst of the characters, whose lives inexorably escape them. The author brilliantly maintains the suspense until the very last second.
