Over the next seven years, she is divorced, deals with her children's illnesses and falls in love, all while dealing with her court case, how to pay her lawyers, and the ensuing appeal. When all seems lost, the activists of Quebec get involved, and the case is set on a whole new course and the court of public opinion, via social media, brings down the final verdict in less than 24 hours.
