| When entrepreneur Craig Blake buys a small gym, he fully expects to demolish the place to make room for a high rise. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a world he never knew existed. From a perky gymnast who wears her heart on her leotard to a philosophizing Mr. Universe hopeful, the free-wheeling spirit of the gym touches Craig in a way he never expected -- and plunges him into a hilarious off-the-wall plot to stop his high rise...from ever rising! | |||||||||||||||
