Bruce is a snowplow driver in a small remote town in Quebec. While driving drunk during a snowstorm, Bruce fatally strikes a pedestrian. After Bruce panics and hides the body in a snowbank, he drives deep into the woods in a stupor and falls asleep. When he wakes, he finds that the vehicle has become stuck. Stranded in the freezing cold without supplies, he initially sets off to find help but returns to the snowplow when he sees no nearby signs of civilization. Left with nothing but his own thoughts, Bruce practices his statement to the police. During the imaginary conversations, he becomes overcome with emotion when told that his victim had children.Actors

Augustin Marleau est un comédien qui a un talent fou… pour se faire détester. Déjà, dans son aventure précédente, L'Assassin jouait du trombone, il a failli servir de bouc émissaire à un dangereux criminel et à un inspecteur de police aussi ambitieux qu'étroit d'esprit. Aujourd'hui qu'il pense enfin revenir à une vie normale, les éternels ennemis de Marleau reviennent à la charge. D'abord, l'inspecteur de police, un dénommé Giuseppe Grasselli, s'obstine à faire de lui le coupable d'une énigmatique affaire d'enlèvements. Ensuite, le sophistiqué et névrotique criminel dont il a autrefois fait échouer les machinations, Edouard Elkin, veut absolument se venger. Il a d'ailleurs beau jeu pour le faire, puisqu'il est maintenant conseiller en affaires criminelles auprès d'une association de malfaitrices composée de femmes riches mais désœuvrées qui veulent mettre du piquant dans leurs vies en commettant des crimes parfaits. L'enlèvement de leurs maris, par exemple. Maris qu'on ne reverra plus jamais par la suite, cela va de soi. Le pauvre Marleau n'a pas idée de ce qui se trame dans son dos. Évidemment, sa naïveté l'amène à provoquer malheurs sur malentendus et courir de gaffes en gaffes, jusqu'à ce que le hasard lui donne la solution de l'énigme.
