A sex worker and a drug dealer form an unusual partnership. A young man, new in town, wanders its dangerous streets, searching for his date. A couple hook up in bar and take a tense cab ride across 1980s New York. A young couple invite a stranger to their apartment and then their bed. These are hard-hitting, uncompromising stories, dealing with themes of violence, sexual exploitation, racism, and desire.


Mae gweithiwr rhyw a deliwr cyffuriau yn ffurfio partneriaeth anarferol. Mae dyn ifanc, newydd i’r dref, yn crwydro’r strydoedd peryglus, yn chwilio am ei ddêt. Mae cwpl yn cwrdd mewn bar ac yn mynd ar daith ddirdynnol mewn tacsi ar draws Efrog Newydd yr 1980au. Mae cwpl ifanc yn gwahodd dieithryn i'w fflat ac yna i'w gwely. 

Mae'r rhain yn straeon trawiadol, digyfaddawd, yn delio â themâu trais, ecsbloetio rhywiol, hiliaeth a chwant. 

A young boy braves the streets of nighttime Manila to meet an anonymous hookup. Thinking one of them is the guy he’s meeting he trails a pack of young hustlers who then draw him into their strange world of death and desire.


Mae bachgen ifanc yn wynebu strydoedd Manila yn ystod y nos i gwrdd â chymar dienw. Gan feddwl mai un ohonyn nhw yw’r boi y mae’n cwrdd ag ef, mae’n dilyn criw hustlers ifanc sydd wedyn yn ei dynnu i mewn i’w byd rhyfedd o farwolaeth a chwant.
