Translator Regina Lampert is vacationing at a ski resort in the French Alps, where she meets an attractive stranger named Peter Joshua. Regina plans to divorce her husband, Charles, but upon returning to Paris, she receives terrible news: her husband has sold all their property and was killed under mysterious circumstances. At her husband’s funeral, she meets three strangers who are investigating whether Charles is truly dead. Regina soon learns that during World War II, her husband embezzled a shipment of gold intended for the French Resistance, and the three men are his former colleagues who are still trying to get their hands on the fortune.
