Pierre Chamberland works as a journalist for a major daily newspaper and lives in the heart of the very popular Plateau Mont-Royal district. His brother Francois Chamberland, a young actor with limited talent, continues to dream of the day when we will eventually recognize his “tremendous” potential. Robert Gascon, Francois' best friend, is an eternal 30-year-old teenager with a nebulous past who lives on the hook of society. Finally, Anais Fontaine, Pierre's friend, talented freelance graphic designer, succeeds thanks to her strong personality to take her place among the three roommates. Even if Pierre and Anais are of the age of reason, they do not yet live together. Anais has her own apartment and Pierre shares his loft with Francois and Robert, when the latter are willing to leave him some space. The Plateau characters also have their meeting place, a small neighborhood pub where the charming Beatrice and the friendly Jean-Paul welcome our friends almost daily.
