Plot
Ron (Robitaille) runs an escort service in a rundown part of Montreal. That is, until he is murdered. A number of suspects are possible. It could be Cheech, the rival escort agency owner, Stephanie, a prostitute who wants to leave the business. Cheech is a day in the life of six people whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. Their quest for happiness will reveal each of them to each other in ways they never dreamed of.
