Le très doux et gentil Benoît est gardien d'une maison d'arrêt pas comme les autres située à Clouville, petit bourg de la France profonde des années 1950. Le surveillant chef se prend d'affection pour ses «pensionnaires» et a choisi la gentillesse et la diplomatie plutôt que la manière forte. Progressivement et avec la «liberté de mœurs» et une certaine ambiance délurée, la prison devient de plus en plus un refuge agréable et chaleureux, ce qui ne manque pas d'énerver considérablement la tutelle administrative de notre bon Benoît.
