This sweeping, kaleidoscopic portrait of Los Angeles captures the divided soul of that city through vivid stories of its inhabitants, each living on the fault line between hope and oblivion. A closeted, narcissistic movie star whose obsession with a young talent agent nearly destroys his career; an alcoholic in Venice Beach who finds his life turned upside down when a meth-addled teenage girl shows up half-dead at the restroom he calls home; a nineteen-year-old couple who flee their hometown and struggle to survive on the violent fringes of the city; and the bright young daughter of Mexican immigrants whose humiliating experience as a housekeeper threatens to derail her dreams. Together, these diverse stories provide an X-ray of a city that symbolizes the extremes of American life.
