These award-winning stories, set against an urban backdrop of seedy motels, dilapidated houses and railroad tracks bring to life the meanest streets in Phoenix. Flashy divas, tranvestites, street walkers, mafiosos, and children who know too much too soon, will capture your heart with tales of love, humor and cutting-edge action. Phoenix Street Society as you have never seen it before!
