Chicago teen Nikki's mother died of a drug overdose and her father has kicked her out. Lured by her "boyfriend" (a child pornographer) to southern California, she finds a new family among other homeless youth. While investigating the disappearance of a friend at the hands of the violent pornographers, she takes brave actions to survive. This unflinching thriller shows the gritty underbelly of Los Angeles preceding the 1992 riots.
