This is a raw depiction of life amongst New York's junkies, hustlers, drag queens and prostitutes. An unforgettable cast of characters inhabits the housing projects, bars and streets of Brooklyn: Georgette, a hopelessly romantic and tormented transvestite; Vinnie, a disaffected and volatile youth who has never been on the right side of the law. Then there's Tralala, who can find no escape from her loveless existence, and Harry, the power-hungry strike leader with a fatal secret.
Living on the edge, always walking on the wild side, their alienation and aggression masks a desperate, deep human need for affection and kinship.
