The two meet in Nice, a coastal city on the French Riviera, where they become infatuated with each other despite their different backgrounds. Jean becomes Jackie's gambling partner, and together, they embark on a high-stakes gambling spree in the glamorous and dangerous world of the Monte Carlo casinos.
As they become more deeply involved in the world of gambling, their relationship becomes increasingly volatile and unstable.
