Under the cover of the darkness, Little Boy Lee and his family dump an old mattress in a dirty Strathcona alley. The next day, blame passes from neighbour to neighbour with no one taking responsibility for the abandoned and illegally dumped mattress. As the situation quickly escalates to all-out suburban war, Little Boy Lee has to take responsibility for his actions and clean up the streets.

Made in 8 Days as part of the Crazy8s Film Society Contest with the loving support of many local Vancouver production/post-production sponsors.
