Synopsis

Jean Renault est un comédien qui a autrefois remporté un César du meilleur espoir masculin. Mais son caractère a graduellement anéanti sa carrière, jusqu'au moment où Pôle Emploi lui propose un dépannage : faire le mort pour une reconstitution de crime, dans une station alpine de sports d'hiver, Megève. Jean s'y heurte à la juge Desfontaines, par son besoin de jouer les personnages des victimes et surtout de remettre en cause l'enquête en pointant des incohérences.

Si sa vie de famille devient plus agréable et les relations avec sa femme plus tendre, dans l'entreprise il prend une certaine aisance qui lui permet de mieux assumer les relations avec les autres (et accessoirement d’écarter son concurrent), toutefois il est confronté à l'appréciation négative de sa nouvelle activité, mais l'argent est si facilement gagné que tous rentrent dans le business. Mais un jour arrive celui à qui appartenait le sac et son contenu…
