Alors que deux soeurs partagent leurs joies et leurs peines dans une résidence pour personnes âgées, un homme décide d'enjamber la rambarde de son penthouse pour commettre l'irréparable. Ailleurs, une femme exprime ses doutes à l'enfant qu'elle porte et qui va bientôt naître, tandis qu'une jeune fille évoque le drame du Bataclan. Chaque nouvelle, précédée d'une photographie d'Anne-Marie Guérineau, puise dans les bouleversements du quotidien pour mieux laisser filtrer une lumière qui nous réconcilie avec le côté éphémère de toute chose.

Inspiré par le travail du photographe Gregory Crewdson, Hugues Corriveau plonge à pieds joints au coeur de l'Amérique contemporaine, sondant ses paradoxes et ses idéaux. En résulte un ouvrage tout à fait singulier et autonome, qui éclaire la solitude implacable montrée dans les oeuvres de Crewdson et interprète à sa façon l'envers de l'American dream. Se révèlent au fil des pages une violence latente, l'étrangeté d'un événement improbable, de curieux rêves et d'inexplicables phénomènes.
