Gérard owes his life to an undone shoelace. As a former reporter and Anonymous Alcoholic, he has finally come back to live in Hochelaga, the working-class neighbourhood where he grew up. Through a series of minor mishaps, he comes home one night just a few minutes after the whole building explodes. There are six casualties in the fire. The questions which torment him are the following: why did his neighbours die and not him? Is there any sense to this event? Does life itself have any meaning? To answer them, Gérard rummages through the victims’ past. His investigation leads him from Hochelaga, Outremont, and Maniwaki to the coast of St. Jean Port-Joli.
