"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." ‒ John Lennon

An enormously talented basketball player, 15-year-old Lea has a bright future ahead. Her loving father is also her relentless coach, and every day, she dreams of the glory that awaits her, refusing to let anything stand in the way of her destiny.
Anthony is 17 and lives in the Val-Fleury projects, where no one has dared to dream for a very long time. By chance, Lea and Anthony meet.
Normally, they'd never have seen each other again, but when Léa’s life falls apart after a terrible tragedy, Anthony is the only one who can help her back onto her feet. Will he be able to restore her self-confidence and faith in the future after such trauma?
