When Maëllie chooses to leave Fredericton to join her lover in Nunavut, her friends will come to her home to have a last night together as a group. Feeling the end of their friendship approaching, and captive of a heat wave that strikes New Brunswick, this group will explode in a stifling atmosphere behind closed doors.
Inspired by love stories from New Brunswickers…
