Ron, a small-time pimp searching for happiness
and a shot at the big time, lies face down in the
snow blowing in from his broken office window.
He's very much dead. Who put him there is the
question the film seeks to answer. In classic noir
style, Cheech flashes back in time to retrace the
twelve hours leading up to Ron's violent end. The
suspects are numerous. There's Maxime, Ron's oft
confused and inexperienced assistant. There's
Olivier, a client who is woefully behind in his
payments, and Jenny, Ron's top girl, who may be
looking to move up. Or what about Stephanie, a
depressed and suicidal escort whom Ron asks to do
one last job And then there's Cheech. The head of
a rival agency and the businessman Ron aspires to
be, Cheech is upset when a convention rolls into
town and Ron tries to invade his turf. The
desperate souls in this movie are all looking for
an escape from the seedy criminal underbelly of
Montreal, but only some of them will make it.
