MY MAD RUSSIAN: Three Tales is a tasty gumbo of drug-dealing, murder, adultery, arson, tax evasion and kidnapping. The title piece is inspired by the story of Leon Theremin and his 1930s New York patrons. In Big Luck, an L.A. actor wins the lottery but schemes to avoid taxes. Sidestep is a story of the heartland. Despite having to close his factory, Jonah recoups his fortunes, until drug dealers come to town.
