Gene Lacy, a former lobster boat fisherman and proprietor of Lacy's General Store, is down on his luck big time: he's ducking creditors, huge gambling debts, and an ex-wife with very expensive tastes. So when Spider walks into his store with a golden lottery ticket in the shape of a rare and valuable dead bird, Gene has a choice to make.

He has the connections to help Spider turn his windfall into greenbacks, but there's one tiny problem, as Gene's right-hand man -- and ex-boxer named Lullaby -- is well aware; it's a felony offence to even be in possession of the bird.

As the metaphorical noose tightens, and the threat of a lengthy stretch behind bars hangs over them, so the friendship unravel with a potentially deadly and deadly funny outcome: if there's honour amongst thieves, somebody forgot to tell these guys.

 Paul Levy, Fringe Review

"Razor sharp and wickedly funny."

Treat Williams

"Funny, intimate and realistic with a dark twist. Extraordinary performances. Not to be missed!"
