Synopsis

A tale of friendship, trust, betrayal and the overwhelming power of unconditional love. The story follows a gang of unique outcasts and misfits living in a downtown Los Angeles fleapit, known locally as the "Million Dollar Hotel". Their story is seen through the eyes of Tom Tom, a young man who serves them all like some sort of "Beggar's Butler." He has a childlike, innocent mind.

Or was he pushed? To the amazement of his neighbors, Izzy is revealed to have been the son of a billionaire media magnate.

As Skinner's investigation proceeds, the lines between murder and suicide become very blurred, indeed,
