[2] The film stars John Allore as Angus, who is visiting for his 21st birthday after escaping the stifling family home in Don Mills to get his own apartment in downtown Toronto with his girlfriend Julia (Maria Del Mar).
His parents (Peter MacNeill and Rosemary Radcliffe) barely communicate, with his dad spending most of his time golfing and his mom spending all her time in the kitchen baking and cooking too much food and having an affair with the milkman (Frank McAnulty).
Meanwhile his sister Lindsay (Linda Kash) spends all her time making strange dough art in the hopes of setting off a house fire so that she can be rescued by and fall in love with a hot fireman (Jeremy Ratchford), while his other sister Katy (Karen Hines) is constantly having casual sex with every man she meets.
