After more than a decade away, having been disowned by his family, Étienne Ranson returns to Grenoble from French Africa having made a fortune. He discovers that his uncle's glovemaking business is now in serious trouble. Despite being rejected as the black sheep of his family, he is now regarded as a potential saviour.
