Description
Dana and Tony have found romance and they couldn't be happier with one another. Strolling home one icy evening, the young couple sees a police car pulling up in front of Tony's family home. Tony's brother along with Dana's brother had been drinking and driving that evening. And they're both dead.Elsewhere in the neighbourhood, Dave suddenly finds himself unemployed and scotch seems to do the trick of filling the void. He finds distraction in his pretty new neighbour, but he'd never hurt his wife--intentionally, that is.Angel in Blue Jeans follows the extraordinary lives of the ordinary people in a typical suburban neighbourhood grappling with the challenges of the modern day. Alcohol addictions, danger, and heartbreak are countered by strength, determination, and love. But do Dana, Tony, and Dave have the strength to endure?
