Synopsis by Nathan Southern
This drama concerns Michel Dumont (Marc-Andre Grondin), a convenience store delivery person raising two children on his on in the wake of a messy divorce. Tragedy strikes when Dumont suddenly gets charged and sentenced for a rape which he claims to have never committed. Over the course of the court trial, he begins to develop feelings for Solange (Marilyn Castonguay), a single mother who believes wholeheartedly in his innocence. During his prison term, the two marry and she begins to assimilate evidence that she hopes will exonerate him. Podz directs.
