[2] The cast includes Nicholas Campbell as Jude's father, Victoria Sanchez as her sister Maureen, Kris Lemche as Maureen's HIV+ drug addict boyfriend Gabe and Bernie Coulson as Big Al, as well as Raymond Cloutier, Louise Portal, Victor Soumis, Simon Peacock, Tom Watt, Daniela Akerblom, Robert Morin, David DiSalvio, Arizona O'Neill, Mary Morter, Gerald L'Ecuyer, Griffith Brewer and Sasha Dominique in supporting roles.
It's a more complex idea to suggest that someone who's good-looking and bright might find the street life temptingly easy.
