More DescriptionThe devil meets his match in a Bathurst Street laundromat. A Vietnam vet's sister is terrified by his unexpected return. The kid who spends too much time in the garage fixates on the battle of Midway -- and then breaks all the rules at the high school talent show. A middle-aged social worker's job moves in with him. Over-priced coffee gets served and an old piano teacher finally learns who McCoy Tyner is.

And you will too.
