It is winter break. Antoine, Sylvie, Éric, Carole and Marie are traveling to Grenoble. Everyone is excited about skiing and spending time together. Antoine is also looking forward to seeing his friends and family.

The train arrives, and their adventure begins, but not as expected. Antoine’s brother Jean Mi surprises him at the train station, but this is not the only surprise. Nina is also there. As these friends continue to discover more about each other, relationships will be questioned. Will their pasts prove too complicated? Will an accident bring understanding? As their trip unfolds, friendships will be challenged, and emotions tried.
