Abandoned at a young age by his mother to child protection services, Malony was transferred from one foster family to another, never becoming attached to anything or anyone. Becoming a problem teenager, he will often face a juvenile justice judge who no longer knows what to invent to deal with this indomitable-looking case. In desperation, the boy is entrusted to an educator, who tries through a special program to restore the situation. Unfortunately, the process will not be without tears, without pain, without effort...

Abandoned by his mother at the age of 6, Malony is constantly in and out of juvenile court. An adoptive family grows around this young delinquent: Florence, a children's magistrate nearing retirement, and Yann, a caseworker and himself the survivor of a very difficult childhood. Together they follow the boy's journey and try unfailingly to save him. Then Malony is sent to a stricter educational center, where he meets Tess, a very special young girl who shows him that there are reasons for hope.
