Set in the small town of Sainte-Irénée-les-Neiges, Quebec, the film centres on the inhabitants of the town who are struggling to cope after Simon Dubé, the teenage son of an area family, is killed in a car accident.[4] As the family and town grieve, however, the residents begin to report a number of ghost sightings.[1]
