Synopsis
In order to survive on the mean streets of contemporary London, Gypo and Kaz trick men into paying for sex with Kaz and then escaping before the victims realize what's happening. The money goes to vodka or drugs or paying off Nosty, a violent parasite who frequently gets himself institutionalized by stabbing himself in the chest with a broken bottle.
