Alexandre Guérin habite la région lyonnaise. Cadre bancaire épanoui d'une quarantaine d'années, époux d'une femme aimante et père de cinq enfants, c'est un catholique pratiquant, tout comme sa famille. Un jour, après une conversation avec un camarade jadis scout comme lui, il se rappelle les abus sexuels dont, enfant, il fut victime de la part d'un prêtre pédophile, le père Bernard Preynat. Les faits sont prescrits. Mais, assailli de souvenirs douloureux, Alexandre décide d'entreprendre une enquête. Il entre en contact avec la psychologue de l'archevêché, Régine Maire. Par son entremise, il obtient un rendez-vous avec le cardinal Philippe Barbarin, archevêque de Lyon. Il découvre alors que malgré l'alerte de plusieurs parents, l'Église a étouffé l'affaire. Régine Maire organise une brève confrontation entre Alexandre et le père Preynat, qui se conclut par une prière commune quasi surréaliste. Malgré les nombreux courriers électroniques d'Alexandre, les autorités ecclésiastiques tergiversent et se défaussent. Pire, lors d'une messe, Alexandre constate que le père Preynat, maintenu en fonctions, se trouve toujours au contact d'enfants.

Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) is a career-minded woman who has just been given an on-air role with E! and is living in the pool house with her sister Debbie's (Leslie Mann) family. Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) is laid-back and sardonic. He lives off funds received in compensation for an injury and sporadically works on a celebrity porn website with his roommates (Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel and Martin Starr), in between smoking marijuana or going off with them at theme parks such as Knott's Berry Farm. While celebrating her promotion, Alison meets Ben at a local nightclub. After a night of drinking, they end up having sex. Due to a misunderstanding, they don't use protection: Alison uses the phrase "Just do it already" to encourage Ben to put the condom on, but he misinterprets this to mean to dispense with using one. The following morning, they quickly learn over breakfast that they have little in common and go their separate ways, which leaves Ben visibly upset.
