In language that echoes the rumbling of busted concrete, Pam Ward introduces us to an assortment of South Central Los Angeles characters: petty crooks and hairdressers, car jackers and bank tellers. Their explosive lives leap from each episode, evoking the tensions and longings that confront people trying to deal with matters of the heart and the stuggles of day to day. Direct, honest, and deeply moving, these stories reveal the beauty and complexities of good folks, lost souls, and a whole lot of people in between.
