Inspired by true events in San Francisco’s notorious Tenderloin district, three friends must hustle through one gritty, glamorous, adrenaline-fueled night. With only hours to scrape together enough cash to cover rent and avoid ending up on the streets, Goldie, Blake and Angel dive into a world of sex work, drugs, and danger. As tensions rise, a fiery love triangle tests their loyalties. When the ruthless queen of the streets threatens the fragile life Goldie rebuilt after prison, she must fight to protect her chosen family.
