Stomy - a rising boxing champion - and Isabelle, a couple without history, is seen suspected of ill-treatment on their two children, a teenaged daughter and Sun, 5 years old and suffering a brain disease. Sun was born from their union contrary to the daughter, born from a first marriage. All goes well until the couple come to know that their son is being kept in hospital merely to siphon off their money. Stomy gets angry and brings home his son without the doctor's permission. The unwanted publicity of this act, courtesy the paparazzi, brings about the anger of the entire locality on the couple. The charge of ill-treatment rests on the ill will of neighbors and the very personal appreciation of a doctor. The press people interfere. They interview the daughter who makes some comments which are successfully manipulated by the press bringing about the inculpation of the couple. In front of the judge, she reconsiders her remarks and the couple is thus released. But the evil is done. The rumour is spread, “no smoke without fire”. The public opinion condemns the couple with no option but to leave their neighbourhood.
