In this story, the author invites nine characters to a fictitious island in the St. Lawrence where rape, murder, suicide attempts, rejection, verbal aggression, family dysfunction and love take place. All of them cross paths in the very special universe imagined by Daniel Danis. It is a story of two women, Joëlle and Déesse, who are raped by white men. The two pregnant women are rejected by their society. Déesse has a miscarriage and Joëlle gives birth to Djoukie: the daughter seeking certainty for 'forgotten mentally retarded people'. She does not want to see her father, but quite simply, she wants to feel that she is like other children of her age: 'Tell me who my father is that I don't want to meet, give me the guarantee of having one'. The girl suffers greatly in her unfair life and she expresses all her anger through verbal aggression. Despite her hard life and suffering, she helps her mother and Déesse run a petrol station. Simon, the ex-soldier, likes Joëlle, who initiallyrejected his warm feelings.
