There are strange things simmering under the calm facade of a typical suburban town. A drug dealer "The Man", who has been in business a long time doling out different drugs from his charming tree shaded house in Leonia, NJ, has seen better days with better clientele. His business, like his life after a recent divorce, seems to be rolling down hill rapidly, mired in mid-life crisis and confusion. Being the sole caretaker of his 5 year old boy doesn't help. That is the opening premise in this quirky black comedy crime-drama about life and it's sometimes scary vicissitudes. As The Man is shuffling around in his newfound sadness enter The blatantly evil (and funny) Delvecchio Brothers. They have a loopy plan in mind which includes taking over The Man's suburban drug dealing business without his consent. This starts a series of plot twists involving an array of colorful and off-beat New Jersey characters. All of these personalities in this comedy drama of human bungling and desperation have two things in common....they're not happy and they want some kind of change. The Man goes in search of and eventually comes up with a violent plan for survival and puts together a somewhat reluctant posse of fellow bag men to help him try to fulfill it. Then the stuff really hits the fan. Not everyone has a clear purpose in this unique film but everybody thinks they are better then everybody else. Meanwhile nobody's plans come to fruition. A comedy of errors plays out in this eerie tree shaded land of tortured souls each mired in their own mental machinations. Only one character will rise to whatever the top is at the end. That's not a surprise. It's just that the little ones always suffer the most in the long run.
