Angel Gates (playing herself ) is a mother and part-time sex worker. Eric Buurman (playing himself ) is a father juggling his son and landscaping job with his heroin addiction. Angela "Roller Girl" Dawson (also playing herself ) is a larger-than-life street celebrity roller-skating around town and interacting with virtually all of Vancouver. Mark (Joe Dion Buffalo) has recurring visions of being taken away to another world. As with many in Mark's orbit, drugs continue to isolate him while doing the dirty job of pushing him further into a system that keeps him exactly there. And there's Ken (Ken Harrower), a disabled man just trying to make it on his own and get to the hockey finals. These vulnerable five - estranged from their families and often hounded by the cops and society at large - have created a community for themselves that stands in stark contrast to the glittering backdrop of the Olympics with its real and metaphorical gold medals.
