Mouse is a teenage boy living in Weston, one of Toronto's most notorious neighbourhoods. Every day is a struggle as he tries his best to make enough money selling marijuana to support his mother, who is recently single after his father's death. However, after being betrayed by his friend and dropped by his drug dealer, Mouse must find a new supplier and make new connections if he wants to survive, let alone make it to the top of the game.
Weston tells a tale that usually doesn’t get the chance to be told– and that is the unforgettable tale of the hood. Raw, real and riveting, the story must be told.

Most twenty-somethings fantasize about falling in love, attaining that dream career and then owning a house. All January Angel wants to do is die.
Hot Day in January chronicles a year in the life of 27-year-old January, an unemployed aspiring punk musician and recreational substance-abuser barely living in Toronto, Canada. When January finds herself evicted from yet another ramshackle apartment, she moves into her friend’s even more dilapidated place, spending her days dumpster diving for food and sleeping on a lumpy futon in the corner of a cigarette-infested room. But it’s okay because January has a plan: she’ll join the likes of Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse in the infamous 27 Club and die a famous musician by her next birthday. But with a penchant for dropping acid and taking off with strangers, how will this self-destructive nobody become a somebody?
Teaming up to form a band with her misfit friends, January soon finds herself swept up into the wild world of rock and roll as she struggles to learn the guitar and become a rock star in time to join the infamous club. Along the way, she finds herself in hilarious misadventures such as living illegally in America with a Kurt Cobain wannabe and engaging in terribly awkward exotic dancing. All things considered, her hectic and humorous escapades into the music world will force her to grapple with her future and question just how far she’s willing to go to be famous.
