 Remy, divorced and in his early fifties, is hospitalized. His ex-wife, Louise, asks their son Sebastien to come home from London where he now lives. Sebastien hesitates; he and his father haven't had much to say to one another for years now. He relents, however, and flies to Montreal to help his mother and support his father. As soon as he arrives, Sebastien moves heaven and earth, brings his contacts into play and disrupts the system in every way possible to ease the ordeal that awaits Remy. He also reunites the merry band that marked Remy's past around his father's bedside: relatives, friends and former mistresses. What have they become in this age of "barbarian invasions"?

In the age of the barbarian invasions, the decline of the American empire continues...
