Albert is special. He can hear the fish talking under the ice. That's his secret to being a champion ice fisherman. He's well into his twenties, but Mom still takes him to tournaments, where all he can do is win. And winning means cash, and he's won a lot of them.
When streetsmart Tuey and her hypochondriac teenaged brother Stan drift into Albert's quaint Milwaukee suburbs, they stumble on an opportunity to fill their empty pockets. Smooth-talking travelling salesman Jerry James has also just sleazed into town. He too, is always on the lookout for a quick buck. But when his mum is killed in a hit-and-run 'accident', everyone is after wide-eyed Albert's hidden fortune...
Outstanding performances and beautiful photography make this a life-affirming gem. Milwaukee, Minnesota will steal your heart.
