Evicted from his apartment, Vernon reconnets with old friend Alex Bleach, an aging rock star attempting yet another comeback. When Bleach learns that his friend is out on the street, he invites Vernon over to his place.
After Alex’s death, Vernon ends up on the couch of his friend Xavier, a failed screenwriter. When Xavier leaves for Cannes, he brags at a party about having Alex Bleach’s last will and testament on video, which leads to serious consequences.
Kicked out of Xavier’s place, Vernon turns up unexpectedly at Emilie’s. Although torn between resentment and tenderness, she decides to let him stay. They reminisce about old times but soon, she feels hurt and abandoned.
The Hyena is still trying to locate Xavier. Her investigations lead her to Barcelona. Aïcha, daughter of ex-porn star Vodka Satana (an ex-girlfriend of Alex Bleach), tags along. Meanwhile, Vernon has a passionate reunion with another of Alex’s exes.
