Plot Summary

Growing up, Pierre Dalpé was a delinquent–pulling off robberies to fund his drug habit. Now in his mid-thirties, he’s all grown-up with a lovely wife and three children. He has a legitimate business operating a small fleet of garbage collection trucks. His wife works as a social worker, helping troubled youth–like Pierre used to be–out of trouble. Things start to change when their neighbourhood becomes the target of street gangs and Pierre decides to get involved. As he confronts the kids and one young girl in particular, Pierre finds he is confronting his past.
