SYNOPSIS

English >>> It’s summertime; Zak and Seth find themselves dead broke and ditched by their absentee mother in the family's cottage. Just like every holiday, they've resigned themselves to another shitty summer. But things change this year, when they meet Danny, a local teenager. Together, with life at their fingertips, they begin the great perilous journey of their lives.

French >>> C’est l’été, Zak et Seth se retrouvent seuls et sans argent dans leur maison de campagne. Les deux frères s’attendent encore une fois à passer des vacances de merde. Mais cette année là, ils rencontrent Danny, un autre ado du coin. Ensemble, à un âge où tout est possible, ils vont commencer la grande et périlleuse aventure de leur vie.
