尚，今年40歲，是名不得志的演員。在四處找不到演出機會下，透過職業介紹所的幫忙，他獲得一份高薪演出的機會― 幫助警方在重建犯罪現場中，扮演被害者，也就是屍體。而他平日的細節控，也因此獲得最大的發揮。除了躺著扮演屍體，他更全天候的扮起偵探來了！

Jean, a forty-year-old struggling, out-of-work actor has hit rock bottom. Although open to any kind of work, he can't get a break. At the unemployment office, his counselor has a rather odd proposal: he can get a job helping the police reconstruct crime scenes, by standing in for the dead victim. Jean's obsession for detail impresses the detectives, allowing him to take a leading role in a sensitive investigation in Megève ski resort, during low season, after a series of murders.
