Steeve Simard, (Lévi Doré) in final year at École Gaston-Miron in the ethnically diverse southshore
suburb of Saint-Lambert, is well-read and solitary, escaping reality in books. But, one day in gym class, he accomplishes an impressive physical feat that even attracts the attention of Véronique, (Lili-Ann de Francesco) the best-looking girl at school. Unfortunately, Steeve’s new-found prowess infuriates Maxime Giroux, (Karl Wolcott) the quarterback of the football team, the Spartiates. Steve walks a fine line handling a dangerous adversary while avoiding alienating a great girl that has finally spoken to him. Steeve’s life will forever be transformed...
