It's a night to kick back and maybe get some action on the side from his employee\/girlfriend before heading home to his wife and kids.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut this Tuesday's different. An argument with the girlfriend, a little unintentional vehicular homicide of an unsuspecting cyclist, and the next thing you know, Lee's life's upended like a bushel of rotten peaches. Well, mostly upended.
