Lemon Pie and a Black Eye

Lemon Pie is a quirky tale about a man who has been dealt a bad hand in life but finds the courage - and the right props - to tickle Fortune's soft spot. Unbeknownst to him, the innocent hospital nurse Blake (Daniel Ball) is off to a terrible day. He commits one blunder after another before the eyes of the insinuating floor supervisor (Cynthia Wegel) and his maniacal boss Dr. Vandernet (Thomas Benton). Things slip completely out of control when Blake mishandles one of the patients, the portly hip-hop wannabe Reggie (Michael Barra). Out of luck and out of favor, Blake processes his emotions through his stomach. He goes to his favorite diner expecting the usual fare, only to find out that the attractive new waitress Maria (Liza Burns) will not put up with his antics. What follows is a game of wits with a lemon twist, but who will take the upper hand?
