 Plot

Hugo Pool is essentially a day in the life of Hugo (Alyssa Milano), a Southern California pool cleaner. As she goes from house-to-house, we meet members of her strange gallery of clients: Franz Mazur (Robert Downey Jr.), a deranged film director who murdered one of his extras; Chic Chicalini (Richard Lewis), a gangster with a killer stare; and Floyd Galen (Patrick Dempsey), a victim of ALS who ends up joining Hugo on her rounds. Also lending a hand are Hugo's burnt-out father, Henry (Malcolm McDowell), and her gambling-obsessed mother, Minerva (Cathy Moriarty).
