Jake Rizzo, a down and out homeless indigent finds himself in another nameless city with his only friend, Beth. While seeking refuge in a homeless shelter he is met by a callous, unsympathetic staff who seem more bothered by his presence than willing to aid.
However, this City is different. It is a destination, not just a stopover. Jake has strategically negotiated his way to Sacramento. His necessarily deferred life is now narrowing in direction. Surrounded by a sea of self pity, Jakes sharp focus and mysterious pedigree begin to distinguish him from the faceless and nearly lifeless vagrants, as he plots his compelling course of action.
Befriended by a shelter volunteer and her daughter, Jake begins to feel alive again. He battles with his desire to enter her world verses something he knows he must do in order to be able to re-enter his. Jake is plunged into a criminal world of deceit, betrayal and murder; a place he has briefly been before, but this time he has little chance of escape.
