"Cutting Edge" is a television sitcom based on true stories from my father's pork store, Lutz's in Union, NJ.  The characters are based entirely on all of his buddies and the wild customers they interacted with daily.  

Jason's burdened by the responsibility and the pressures of running the family business after finding his father face down in the ice box of the butcher shop.  He is accompanied by his best friends who worked in the shop through their teenage years and are now compelled to help Jay in his efforts to keep the store running at the expense of their own aspirations.  Although there is this dark underling drama of Jay dealing with his emotions and getting through the process, the show is full of comedic relief.  The guys are constantly goofing off during store hours whether it is making fun of the customers, joking amongst themselves or messing with Jay to keep his spirits up.
