Dans la blancheur de la campagne québécoise, à St-Étienne-de-Bolton dans l'Estrie, Dédé Fortin et ses Colocs se retirent pour composer ce qui deviendra leur plus célèbre, mais également leur dernier album, Dehors novembre. Durant presque un an, Dédé y compose et écrit ses chansons, la majorité du temps seul, oscillant entre moments de création et périodes d'angoisse plus profonde. Le chanteur y fait en quelque sorte le bilan de sa vie et revisite certains pans de son passé qui viennent parfois le hanter, parfois l'inspirer.

Jenny (played by Susan Strasberg) is a deaf runaway who arrives in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, searching for her brother Steve. She encounters the aptly named Stoney (Jack Nicholson) and his hippie band "Mumblin' Jim" in a coffee shop. The boys are sympathetic, especially when they discover that she is deaf and can only understand others through lip reading. They hide her from the police and help her look for her brother. He has left his apartment with no forwarding address; she has only a postcard from him which reads "Jess Saes: God is alive and well and living in a sugar cube". Meanwhile, the boys are trying hard to improve their music and get more visibility, and are approached by a promoter who says he can arrange for them to perform at "the Ballroom", clearly the Avalon Ballroom or the Fillmore West.
