The pleasures and pitfalls of the nocturnal urban landscape serve as the backdrop for Scott Boswell's beautifully moody debut feature. Anthony (Raphael Barker, Shortbus), an eager small-town newcomer to San Francisco who is dealing with an abusive ex-lover strikes up an unlikely friendship with Gavin, a barely legal runaway and homeless street hustler, who has a turbulent history of his own.
