This film tells the story of a young Montrealer who edits an underground newspaper with help from his female friend and a draft dodger from the United States.

Including some seminal archival footage of a speech by legendary anti-war activist Abbie Hoffman and bloody rioting during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.
