BAGELIZED
Brooklyn bagel baker, Tragullio (Carmine Famiglietti) has been asked to train the new employee - his boss's wife's cousin, Dana - how to bake bagels. Reluctant to share his bagel baking secrets with some kid, Tragullio accepts the charge under pressure from the boss (Tom Karlya). Dana (Joli Tribuzio) shows up, pretty and mysterious. There's something different about her. Tragullio warms to her, but he's in for a big surprise when he finds out that things are not as they seem.
