Born in France to a Quebecois mother, Bastien, almost 14, spends his summer vacations in the Laurentians with his parents and his little brother. Louise, his mother’s best friend, welcomes them to her cottage on the shore of a lake. The day after his arrival, the young Frenchman visits the area with Louise’s 16-year-old daughter Chloé. According to her, the lake is haunted by the spirit of a drowned boy. With the teenager, Bastien experiences his first sexual and love feelings. But he feels threatened by the presence of the son of the new owner of the cottage, a 19-year-old English-speaking man who is always hanging around Chloé.
