When a stranger asks Helena Folasadu if she is waiting for Monsieur Bellivier, she finds herself accepting a bizarre mission: to sit in a deserted office and forward coded emails to the mysterious Monsieur. Tunisian shopkeeper Mancebo lives a quiet, ordered life, but when he is approached by a woman asking him to spy on her boyfriend, he agrees. As he observes the man, his own life comes into focus, and he starts to suspect that his wife and cousin are leading secret lives. Helena and Mancebo don't know it yet, but their missions will overlap in the most surprising ways...
