Poisoned Ink

A comedy about a young boy who spies on his father's girlfriends through a peep-hole from his bedroom into the bathroom. One day he discovers a woman who is much different from the others.

In 1957 Brooklyn, small-time mobster George and his sidekick Dip realize they've forgotten the birthday of mob boss Joey, so they engage the services of prostitute Glorice. Joey's reaction to Glorice gives George a promotion, and he's installed as Joey's assistant. George makes the discovery that gender-bent Glorice is not exactly a woman after all. The problem gets worse: Joey intends to marry Glorice, but she plans to blackmail him after the wedding.

This is a coming of age story that tells of two best friends, Ben and Thomas, and a summer they'll never forget. 16 years old, their lives are based on two things, skateboarding and meeting girls (and not necessarily in that order). While working their way through this confusing maze, their friendship is tested in ways they never expected.

n 1975, the Guinness Book of World Records TV show called skateboard promoter James O'Mahoney and asked him to stage a skateboard race. The result - the world's first skateboard race, the Signal Hill Speed Run. It soon became an annual event, with crowds over 5,000 and national television crews, and competitors chasing a prize that didn't cover medical expenses of this most dangerous race.
