Spider, a 56-year-old man from Toronto, faces new jail time for an assault he committed during a drunken night out. His last hope is to locate Cougar, the woman with whom he partied, and claim that the attack was actually a romantic gesture. A personal quest ensues through Toronto’s rundown neighbourhoods, where we uncover the stigmas of Spider’s past alongside a cast of eccentric characters and as many broken dreams. A gonzo social drama, produced for the price of the few beers that its deliciously anti-establishment protagonist guzzles on screen.
