When Steeve embarrasses her ex-boyfriend one day in their sports lesson, hell breaks loose and he becomes the target of the brutal football star. The inevitable happens. But when Steeve wakes up in hospital, cheerleader Verónique is by his bed telling him about the dismissal of her former crush. A tender affection arises, which inexperienced Steeve still has to learn to cope with. After a lost match, he discovers his best friend Virgile with another footballer in the shower.
