Synopsis
Pianiste célèbre, Stephen Orlac subit une opération chirurgicale des mains après avoir été victime d'un accident d'avion. Quelques mois plus tard, il se rend compte qu'il n'est plus en mesure de jouer comme auparavant et il finit par se convaincre que les mains d'un autre ont été greffées à la place des siennes. Désemparé, il s'enfuit alors qu'il séjourne sur la Côte d'Azur en compagnie de sa fiancée, Louise. Installé dans un hôtel marseillais, il devient la proie d'un couple, Li-Lang, chanteuse, et Néron, son amant.
