  A single summer changes the trajectory of each member of this close-knit family, changing their lives — and the family — forever.
  		 
  “Sharp, wildly hilarious, touching, and profound … Maybe art can’t be perfect, but Arjun Basu comes as close as it gets.” — Chris Harding, author of Pickard County Atlas
  		 
  The Reeds are a very loving, slightly dysfunctional family — but a summer of individual changes is about to shake their tight family unit. Bobby, the father, loses his job while his wife Mimi’s lucrative business leaps ahead. Their adopted son, Abbie, leverages his internet stardom into the makings of a career, while their adopted daughter, Dee, discovers who she really is. They’ll have to navigate the shifting landscapes of money and fame in the age of the internet, office politics, gender dynamics, and sexuality in a world that has just seen political upheaval.
  		 
  Set in Montreal’s west end, The Reeds is an ultimately optimistic story about the middle class, hope and love, and nostalgia, while exploring the dehumanization of work and the power of art against a backdrop of shag carpeting, the relentlessness of change, gentrification, and Japanese fried chicken.

  Game, set & match. 
  What began on a tennis court evolved into something neither of them could control. 
  Anyone for Tennis? is a sensual and emotionally charged novella about intimacy, awakening, and the subtle line between control and surrender. 
  On a quiet yet charged tennis court, we follow an encounter that starts playfully — but gradually shifts into something more. Through glances, rhythm, and unspoken tension, the boundaries between competition and intimacy begin to blur. 
  With an intimate and atmospheric tone, Lisa M. portrays desire not as an act, but as a process — shaped by anticipation, presence, and emotional vulnerability.
