Synopsis
After Donalda's disappearance, Séraphin is devastated. Sainte-Adèle has never seen him in such a pitiful state. Consumed by alcohol and dark thoughts, he would rather die than face the humiliation he has endured. Yet, despite the deep hatred the townspeople have for him, the survival and prosperity of the North depend on him. He must revive the economy and restart the construction sites he once shut down. But who will give him the will to live again? Meanwhile, Curé Labelle must push harder than ever to complete his railway project—his heart condition certainly won’t stop him. As the village is still reeling from the fake gold mine scandal, Bidou and Nanette settle on land taken by force, pushing Sainte-Adèle to the brink of an Indigenous war. The many characters of Les Pays d’en Haut will have to navigate a storm of heartbreaking trials, forgiveness, relentless determination, and fury to finally see their great adventure of colonization through…
