London, late 1990s. Stan, a young and promising French composer, is invited to arrange the music for a theatrical adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

After Liv's accident, Stan returns to France surrounded by darkness, no longer able to compose. He shares his life with Babette, a lifeguard and mother of a boy of Lisa's age, and Laïvely, an AI machine of his own invention endowed with Liv's voice, which he spent entire nights building after her death. . . But Stan remains haunted by his past. As Laïvely seems to take on a life of its own, memories and reality fade and blur. . . and Stan's new family implodes. . .
