The story is set in a post-apocalyptic apartment building in a France of an ambiguous time period, and focuses on the tenants of the apartment building and their desperate bids to survive. The protagonist, a former circus artist named Louison, arrives to replace a tenant whose reason for departure is initially unclear. However, it is gradually revealed that the building owner, Clapet, is luring unemployed people to murder them and use them as a source of food for his tenants. Louison's only hope for salvation is Julie, Clapet's daughter who doesn't agree with her father's actions and is also in love with Louison, and a vegetarian rebel group known as the Troglodistes who agree to help Julie rescue Louison in exchange for Clapet's grain stores.

* ApartmentComplexOfHorrors: After some vague apocalyptic event, Louison the clown finds a job as a handyman in a small apartment building where troubles range from the mundane (kids playing pranks), to the surreal (a tenant who makes numerous unsuccessful suicide attempts, a man living in a sealed off apartment with his pet frogs), to the potentially deadly (the tenants are mostly cannibals, and the butcher who owns the place plans to put Louison on the menu).

Some aspects of society are still operating; there's a TV station on the air, there's electricity, the mail is still running (although the mailman has to use a gun to defend himself while making his rounds), and there's motorized transport so gasoline is still being distributed. But also, the boarding house stands amidst bombed-out ruins, there's a yellow haze over everything, and the food situation is so bad that people are eating each other.
