On an island, while strange yapping fills the sky in the middle of the night, while the islanders beat and abandon their dogs in broad daylight, while others go to rage parties on the shore to chant: "I've got the taste of paradise! I've got the taste of good sex!", a love story in relay is about to begin in the wind and the fog.
Two native women friends, Déesse, the drunken earth, Joëlle, rockfill, and her young mixed-race daughter, Djoukie, live thanks to their gas station, the Gaz-O-Tee-Pee. Léo, a father in his sixties, and his two younger sons, Charles and Niki, look after their two hundred and forty-six dogs. Coyote, who thinks he's a demigod, finds a job for his friend, Simon, an ex-soldier. Murielle, a refugee from the city, tries clumsily to die.
Who will listen to Niki and Djoukie's cry of "help" for love, while Coyote makes love with Déesse, while Simon breaks Joëlle's heart, while Charles invites Murielle back to life and while Léo calls to his Èva in heaven?
