Plot

Chantal is a young hairdresser and manicurist who at night escorts rich men for money, but no sex is involved since she has a boyfriend Robin whom she loves very much.
One day, old, lonely and terminally ill millionaire Wessel Jacobsen, looking for a companion for the last 6 months he has to live, offers to marry Chantal. After much hesitation, Chantal and Robin decide that the 6 million euro inheritance is too much to ignore. Mr. Jacobsen's sexual depravity makes the marriage difficult, but more difficult for her is the discovery that his cancer is improving.
Mr. Jacobsen finally dies 8 and a half months later. Just when it seems that her and Robin's nightmares are finally over, the old man's estranged son Simon shows up. Simon believes, correctly, that Chantal has murdered his father, and tries to blackmail her.
Simon is murdered at night, and Robin eventually tells Chantal that he did it and that the police will not discover it. They get married in La Palma, Spain, but on the night of their wedding, Chantal is reminded by her best friend Nanouk that Robin might also kill her for the money.
