Early January. At dusk on a provincial road, blowing snow cuts visibility, and a gust of wind sends about ten vehicles into one another. The spectacular pile-up leaves its victims in the icy air, thirteen solitary people watching the minutes run out in the strange hourglass they have fallen into: a soldier, a student, a masseuse, a painter, a minister, a little girl, an engineer, a trucker. They come from everywhere and have nothing in common but the accident. Some will die, some will come out broken, others will try to take their lives back in hand, and none will go through the crash without losing or regaining a part of themselves.
