Emmanuelle lives in the suburbs near a shopping mall. Since her father's death, she feels increasingly out of sync with the world around her. Her mother is distracted, high school bores her. She has just turned 17 and, this particular year, her life will take an entirely different turn.

Emmanuelle sent que le fossé se creuse entre son environnement de banlieue et ce qu'elle est. La mort de son père, les absences répétées de sa mère, marre du lycée, Emmanuelle va voir sa vie basculer à l'aube de ses 17 ans.
