Louis Tremblay, who’s paid to threaten people with violence when they owe money, has always dreamed of being an actor. Even though his girlfriend, Suzie, doesn’t approve of his job, he doesn’t tell her about his acting aspirations because he’s afraid she’ll make fun of him. Suzie meanwhile, has a secret of her own — she’s pregnant. Through his cousin, who works for a production house, Louis gets the chance to audition for a role in a film.
