Ancien délinquant repenti, Pierre Dalpé est aujourd’hui un homme heureux. À 35 ans, il vit des heures paisibles auprès de sa femme Madeleine et de leurs trois enfants. Il est vidangeur, gère quelques camions et les affaires vont bien. De son côté, Madeleine est intervenante sociale auprès des jeunes. Elle a connu Pierre dans la rue presque vingt ans plus tôt et elle s’est attachée à lui. Mais depuis peu, leur quartier est envahi par des dealers et de jeunes prostituées.
Thanks to his wife Madeleine, a social worker who saved him from the street when he was 17-years-old, Pierre Dalpé has become a prosperous entrepreneur, running a garbage-collection business in the Montreal area. His quiet happiness with his wife and their children changes when he crosses paths with Eve, a teenage drug addict/prostitute who belongs to a street gang. At the risk of destroying everything he’s built up, Pierre decides to make it his mission to help Eve get out of her unhealthy situation before she dies of an overdose, like his sister did. But in doing so, he has to confront his old demons, to Madeleine’s despair, as she feels him slipping farther away from her every day.
