Crackie

Mitsy (Meghan Greeley) is a young woman living with her overbearing grandmother 'Nan' Bride (Mary Walsh) in Newfoundland. She is constantly told that her whoring mother Gwenny (Cheryl Wells) left her. She is desperate for a mutt dog and sleeps with Duffy (Joel Thomas Hynes) to get him. She is supposed to attend hairdressing school by Gail (Kristin Booth) despite not having the money. Then her mother returns leaving her other kids in Alberta and starts dating Duffy.

These characters are intriguing and played well by these actresses. The plot meanders a bit too much for the first half. The drama really can't start until the mother returns to town and she start getting into Mitsy's life. She's the motor that drives the drama in the story and it needs to start sooner. The writing is too loose but it produced a couple of interesting characters.
