Oliver & Company -- Contemporary re-telling of Dickens' classic story.

Gabe Kaplan plays David Greene, the coach of a Nevada collegiate basketball team. The local talent is pretty pathetic, so Greene convinces a group of jive-talking New York street kids into playing for the college.

Tyler Czarnecki is the owner of an apartment building haunted by a pair of flesh-eating Babylonian demons who eat the tenants and treat Tyler as their slave. While he clearly resents his lot, Tyler limits his rebellion to grumbling to Rabisu, the lesser of the demons and, from all appearances, Tyler's only real friend. Tyler's sister Amy, a police officer, is indifferent to his plight - or at least too distracted by her shady dealings with the local gang of vampires to get involved. However, the status quo is upset when an attractive young woman named Donna moves into Tyler's building. While Donna is clearly on the run from something, Tyler takes a liking to her and decides to save her from becoming the demons' next meal.

A New York delicatessen worker talks his way into a position as head basketball coach at a Nevada college. He accepts the job on the condition that he can bring his street-wise New York City players with him. The players are standouts on the court but lost in the classroom which leads to trouble.
