City Girls & Desperadoes

NYC 1978 - 1979 a rag tag band of accidental outlaws at war with their pasts explodes with high rolling, high risk relationships and the altered state that love in its most extreme form engenders, an intoxication that is as mind altering as any pharmaceutical. They are seemingly aimlessly lost in the world of drugs and dealing, more to stay connected to each other than any true economic hardship. This crew of broken-hearted hipsters includes: DANI (Julie Atlas Muz) a fragile reject of the American Dream, whose flight from suburbia has led her into the arms of ARTHUR (Austin Pendleton), a middle-aged Jewish man trying to avoid both himself and his culpability in the death of a young woman; SUSAN, his wife, who has failed to provide the emotional refuge she'd promised and GARY an oh-so-much younger actor who believes it is his job to save them all. Rounding out the crew is RITA a Latina powerhouse who with LILLI her lady love sidekick play with societys unquestioned stereotypes to acquire the power she so glamorously wields in heels.
