Winners of the 2023 Prix RÉAL - Fiction series and unique work of fiction
Allie Thompson and the students of New Garden Hills Valley face the "typical" challenges of adolescence: romance, drugs, kidnapping. In this episode, a dark new student upsets the early days of Allie's presidency and puts Brian and Ashley's marriage on the rocks.
Noémie, who has been living in a youth center for 3 years, decides to run away the day her mother tells her she has no intention of taking her home. She joins her friend Léa in Montreal. Léa tells her she's an escort. Léa introduces her to the handsome and flamboyant Zach, who tries to convince her to become a prostitute herself, but only for the weekend of the Grand Prix. Reticent at first, she finally agrees when Zach promises to take her on a road trip with the money she's collected.
