== Plot ==
The novel starts in September, after Joe Cardone, the brother of the main character, has come back from his trip to Europe, and after the summer in Toronto for Jason Cardone (Joe's brother) and his two friends, Don and Ferguson (Peachfuzz) the novel chronicles. They have lost his lease and he is taking out his temper on Jason. September ends with Jason calling Don and Ferguson so they can start looking for a new place for Joe to live. The novel then flashes back to the previous June.
When in Toronto, they couldn't have been expecting everything that happened, from Joe's Camaro going missing (more than once), a crazy landlord and the loss of more jobs than they can count on their fingers. From money problems and the risk of losing Joe's place, to making their landlord's deli, Olympian, into a hip, trendy cafe using chocolate cake mix as the main ingredient in every recipe called Chocolate Delight, anything is possible and everything may happen.
