Plot

On a Friday the 13th in Marseille, four childhood friends—David, Jess, Léo, and Samia—strike a €17 million lottery jackpot. Their initial euphoria quickly dissolves when they discover that, as 17-year-olds, they cannot legally claim the prize. To bypass the rules, they attempt to recruit their teacher, Mr. Pivot, and later classmate Victoire Varrois, who has just turned 18. As they attempt to manage their uncollected fortune, they become entangled in unpaid debts, blackmail, and family drama, all while trying to keep the win a secret from their school and local gangs.
