Ένας υποδηματοποιός τέταρτης γενιάς ανακαλύπτει μια μαγική ραπτομηχανή στο υπόγειο του πατέρα του, η οποία του επιτρέπει να παίρνει τη μορφή όποιου θέλει φορώντας τα παπούτσια του.

Simon is a street retailer, his shop a corner on the lower east side in New York, his stock bootleg cassette tapes, the ambience provided via boombox.
