When eight-year-old Julien Janvier goes to catch the school bus one morning, he finds classmate Sophie Kowalsky being bullied by their classmates for being Polish. To cheer Sophie up, Julien gives her a small tin box with a merry-go-round on it, a gift from his terminally ill mother. Because it is important to him, he asks her to lend it back to him from time to time. When Sophie demands proof of how important it is to Julien, he disengages the handbrake of the school bus filled with children, sending it rolling down the street. They then create their own game of dares: whenever one of them is in possession of the box, the other must complete a dare.
