Set in 1964, Donald Quintal (Patrice Robitaille) meets Father Padre Carmet (Jorge Sabate) at a missionary but is told by Carmet that he cannot be given the money. Donald begins his story that he was a part of The Panet Street Gang that was made up of six Montreal gangsters, and that fours ago, while they were in prison, they planned a bank heist. When the heist went awry, they all voted to give Jimmy the money in $2 million seeing as he had devoted his life to God, on the condition of promising to share it when they all met again. Jimmy hid under the floor while the other five were taken away. When the five were released from prison, they met at a parish chapel near the Franco-Spanish border. Donald explained to the group that he had received a letter from Jimmy that they were to walk 830 kms of the Camino pilgrimage to Santiago to get their share of the money, with a condition, that they needed to prove that they had changed their character as proof of doing the pilgrimage. They learn that they need pilgrim passports to be able to stay at hostels along the way. They tell the Customs women the truth about themselves and they get their passes. Donald Quintal begins a relationship with Maddy (Aure Atika), the girlfriend of Charles (Roy Dupuis) the de facto leader of the group. They arrive in a village and are directed by a boy on his bike to a church and find the grave marker of Jimmy, who had died of his heroin addiction while staying at Carmet's missionary while the others were incarcerated. Cutting back to the conversation between Quintal and Carmet, Quintal is given the money by being given the location of where it is buried. The gang is arrested in Santiago and while the police is going through their bags, looking for the money, it is shown that Maddy has it. The members leave prison and get back to their lives. Maddy distributes the money to each member as she sees fit, leaving Charles a plane ticket to come and find her in Venice.

Au début du film, David Bouchard (Patrick Huard) s'enfuit à bord d'une voiture luxueuse qu'il vient de voler dans un stationnement. Bien qu'il soit poursuivi par deux automobilistes, il rejoint discrètement un garage clandestin, où la voiture sera modifiée. Quelques instants plus tard, des policiers entrent en force dans le garage et Bouchard est confronté à son ancien partenaire, Martin Ward (Colm Feore). Pendant qu'ils se battent, Bouchard explique que le chef du réseau de voleurs est absent du garage. Ward accepte de jouer au prisonnier en contrepartie d'une plus longue explication. Bouchard et Ward s'enfuient, les deux policiers simulant un enlèvement. Près d'un cours d'eau, Ward, officier de la GRC, explique à Bouchard, agent de la Sûreté du Québec, qu'il devient de facto son subalterne. Bouchard conteste, mais plie de crainte de perdre tout soutien. Il rajoute qu'il doit retourner auprès du chef du réseau, mais doit être blessé pour que les criminels croient à son histoire. Ward explique que lui aussi doit montrer des signes de lutte. Chacun inflige donc une blessure à l'autre. Ensuite, les adjoints de Ward se présentent sur les lieux ; Ward explique qu'il doivent agir comme si Bouchard s'était enfui et donc chercher des indices pour satisfaire les journalistes.
