Rita (Patricia Léger) has no choice but to restore the property so she can sell it for a good price. To this end, she enlists the help of Yolande (Marie-Jo Thério), Terri (Bianca Richard), and, in exchange for free accommodation, an Italian surfer (Joey Scarpellino) who emerged from the mud by the river. These volunteers, in reality, give her more work than help. Desperate, Rita turns to her cousin Ferraille (Raphaël Butler), proposing a barter, but the exchange he offers is nothing like what Rita expected…

Rita (Patricia Léger) is desperately trying to keep Pierre (Guillaume Girard) and Josiane (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman), her first guests, a couple from Quebec. While Rita tries to entertain her new guests, Zoël (Gabriel Robichaud) finishes setting up the guesthouse with Terri's (Bianca Richard) help, Gilberte (Claire Normand) contributes to the effort with a historical presentation under challenging circumstances, and Edmour (Marc Lamontagne) forms a close, manly friendship with Pierre, who appreciates this return to the farm. An unexpected discovery relaxes Rita and gives her hope of keeping her first guests.
