Affectionately referred to as "The Boss", Mr. Brochu (Serge Theriault) has been running a full-service gas station for 15 years. Though his wife has passed away and he is beginning to suffer the effects of Parkinson's, he maintains the gas station for his sons, who seem to be more interested in their own creative aspirations than maintaining the pumps. That is, except for his youngest, who at age 14 might not be quite ready to take on all the responsibilities of the job.
