The film stars Martin Desgagné as Sébastien, a bookstore owner and aspiring writer who has not been successful in getting his work published. One day Joseph (Fayolle Jean), his favourite author, stops by the store, but is killed when he is struck by a car just moments after leaving, giving Sébastien the opportunity to steal Joseph's latest novel manuscript and publish it as his own. Meanwhile, his daughter Sasha (Lysandre Ménard) meets and begins a relationship with Joseph's son Sidney (Iannicko N'Doua-Légaré), attempting to keep him from finding out that she saw the accident, and threatening her father's plan because Sidney knows that his father has completed a new novel.[2]
The cast also includes Jocelyn Blanchard, Véronique Chaumont, Nathalie Coupal, Diane Jules, Didier Lucien and Philippe Vanasse-Paquet in supporting roles.
