A Conservative minority government trying to pass a bill that will enable them to go to war suffers a setback when one of the Tory MPs falls ill - leaving the key vote for the government's warmongering initiative in the hands of independent MP Steve Guibord (Patrick Huard), a former hockey player whose pro career fizzled. Feverishly courted by the Tories and subjected to a moral tug of war at home - his ambitious wife (Suzanne Clément) wants him to vote Yes; his peacenik daughter (Clémence Dufresne-Deslières), No - Guibord is unable to decide. As the vote nears and Guibord is beset on all sides - with demands and threats also coming from a group of hard-right local politicos, First Nations protesters, and peace organizations - salvation arrives in the form of his new intern, Souverain (Irdens Exantus), a young Haitian student who knows considerably more about the ins and outs of our parliamentary system than does his boss.
