  The O6 Vn star HD 64315 is believed to belong to the star-forming region
known as NGC 2467, but previous distance estimates do not support this
association. We explore the multiple nature of this star with the aim of
determining its distance, and understanding its connection to NGC 2467. A total
of 52 high-resolution spectra have been gathered over a decade. We use their
analysis, in combination with the photometric data from All Sky Automated
Survey and Hipparcos catalogues, to conclude that HD 64315 is composed of at
least two spectroscopic binaries, one of which is an eclipsing binary. HD 64315
contains two binary systems, one of which is an eclipsing binary. The two
binaries are separated by 0.09 arcsec (or 500 AU) if the most likely distance
to the system, around 5 kpc, is considered. The presence of fainter companions
is not excluded by current observations. The non-eclipsing binary (HD 64315
AaAb) has a period of 2.70962901+/-0.00000021 d. Its components are hotter than
those of the eclipsing binary, and dominate the appearance of the system. The
eclipsing binary (HD 64315 BaBb) has a shorter period of 1.0189569+/-0.0000008
d. We derive masses of 14.6+-2.3 M$_\odot$ for both components of the BaBb
system. They are almost identical; both stars are overfilling their respective
Roche lobes, and share a common envelope in an overcontact configuration. The
non-eclipsing binary is a detached system composed of two stars with spectral
types around O6 V with minimum masses of 10.8 M$_\odot$ and 10.2 M$_\odot$, and
likely masses aprox. 30 M$_\odot$. HD 64315 provides a cautionary tale about
high-mass star isolation and multiplicity. Its total mass is likely above 90
M$_\odot$,but it seems to have formed without an accompanying cluster. It
contains one the most massive overcontact binaries known, a likely merger
progenitor in a very wide multiple system.
