"Curtis"

Curtis's Charm is the story of two heroin addicts who originally meet during rehab: Jim, now recovered, and Curtis, who has gone back to using. Curtis, convinced that his mother-in-law has placed a voodoo curse on him, spends considerable mental energy worrying about how to deal with it. When he runs into his old buddy Jim, Curtis feels he has found a willing pair of ears and his delusional beliefs spew forth with great vigor. Despite being initially wary of their "reunion" due to his own changed perspective on life, Jim nonetheless finds himself compelled to help Curtis through a renewed sense of loyalty, even though their bond of shared troubles has faded with the passage of time.

Co-starring as Jim is Callum Keith Rennie. In 1997, he and Wint worked together again in an episode of Due South, oddly enough once more dealing with that bad mojo.
