Montreal, 1991. Delphis, 11 years old, is growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood and an unstable family environment. One evening, he decides to take control of his life and becomes The Hurricane. Armed with a lightning bolt on his headband and his middle finger held high, he flees a world that has no place for him. With the police and the DPJ (Department of Youth Protection) on his heels, he leaves behind a distressed mother and encounters memorable people on the street. On a quest to discover himself, his adventure is like a road trip, from Hochelaga to Berri, from one family to another. Driven by an accelerated adolescence, his freedom defies indifference. Social labels explode with a confident tone and a fast pace. Between punk and Marjo, The Hurricane hits us square in the face, without waiting to be defeated!

The time loop pushes her deeper into her lucid dream world, forcing her to reach her subconscious world where she meets her worst nightmare, the original form of Dark Figure.
