None of the characters are actors and all of them use their actual names. Even Lee appears as an escapee from a mental hospital who is trying to rebuild a relationship with his troubled estranged son Ari. Lee must also find the medication he needs to function. Meanwhile Ari's mother looks for him while her husband is accidentally nabbed by a car jacker. In other vignettes, a rookie magician messes up her very first gig, a lesbian pimp attempts to woo back her old girl friend and a drug dealer frantically searches for a missing stash. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
