At the end of a successful military career, womanising Leo Fitzjohn retires to his countryside manor with his unbearable family. When his platonic French mistress Ghislaine arrives at the door, Fitzjohn is prepared to take the relationship to the next level. However, Fitzjohn must compete for Ghislaine's affections against his own aide.
