Having traveled to the Magdalen Islands to perform two shows and shoot a music video, the band Chocolat drinks two bottles of whisky too many, and events take an unexpected turn. Seven hours after landing, both shows are cancelled due to the trouble they caused. Their musical trip turns into a wandering journey across islands that have grown hostile to their presence.
