Synopsis

Inspired from the Oliver Twist fable and set in a near millennium New York City subculture, this is the story of Lee, a ten year old African-American runaway foster child, and Angel, a twenty-six year old Hispanic ex-male prostitute who supports Lee in his quest to find love. A dark, urban fairy tale, but it is also a celebration of the human spirit and the undying capacity of a person's ability to love.
