OFF THE STREET
A local TV reporter, Dan Darling, introduces us to the denizens of Palm Sprinkles' homeless community — Crash, Molly, Gunner, Easy Jackson — those forgotten by the city's well-off citizens like Ruby and Karen. The matriarch of the homeless is Lila, who has had the same dream for years — on a moonlit night, on the eve before she turns fifty, a King or Queen will find her a home off the street.
After a new mayor, a local businessman, Tracy Grover Douglas, called the 'Gadget King,' is elected, promising to solve the issue of homelessness, Lila believes her dream is about to come true.
​
