The pack includes David (Thomas Gibson), an acerbic bisexual actor-turned-waiter, who shares an apartment with his ex-lover Candy (Ruth Marshall), a book reviewer who's so disappointed in her relationships with men that she's decided to try a lesbian affair. A teenage busboy named Kane (Matthew Ferguson) lusts after David, while Jerri (Joanne Vannicola) and Robert (Rick Roberts) the bartender, both have designs on Candy. David and his old friend Bernie (Cameron Bancroft) ironically lament the state of their lives in the 1990s. In the midst of all this confusion, Benita (Mia Kirshner), a clairvoyant dominatrix, tries to shed some light on things. Meanwhile, there's a serial killer stalking the streets of Montreal, which makes the prospect of dating a stranger more complicated than ever. The bawdy sensational screenplay is based on Brad Fraser's play UNIDENTIFIED HUMAN REMAINS AND THE TRUE NATURE OF LOVE. [More]
