Synopsis: Montreal (Canada), winter 2002. Stéphane, a 19-year-old metal fan and graphic design student, dreams of becoming an illustrator.

Debt-ridden, without an apartment, and avoiding his friends to whom he owes money, Stéphane takes a job as a dishwasher in a diner to get by. He discovers the fast-paced life of a restaurant as the holiday's approach and its crowd of characters.
