Always passionate about hockey, young Jean-Philippe Tanguay dreams of only one thing: becoming a player agent. He idolizes his cousin Yves Tanguay, a former NHL player, now playing with the Barbares de La Malbaie amateur hockey team. When the team advances to the Canadian championship, Yves convinces his young cousin to accompany him to Thunder Bay to attend the championship. The two cousins ??see this as a unique opportunity for their careers and will embark on a road trip that will lead them to discover the price to pay to make their dreams come true.

Plot

-Yves and JP, two cousins from northern Québec (in Canada), share a passion for hockey. When Yves, a one-time junior-league star who's been scouted for the NHL, is seriously injured in a game in the senior league, he finds refuge in painkillers. JP, some ten years younger, and dreaming of becoming a sports agent, plans Yves' comeback. Together, they drive across Québec and Ontario in the hopes of seeing Yves play in a championship game in Thunder Bay. Little do they suspect that their quest for glory will above all take them on a journey of self-discovery.
