Paul Hansen has been locked up for two years in a Montreal jail with a Hells Angel convicted of murder as cellmate. He recalls his years running the Excelsior apartment building as caretaker, repairman and comforter of the tenants, and his partner Winona, a pilot who took him up above the clouds. Then a new manager took over, tensions rose, and the inevitable followed.
