Living along the Hudson River in a secluded lot where the Sanitation
Department

mostly
Hispanic transvestites, prostitutes spend their nights roaming the meat
district
near West 14th Street, searching for those who will pay for their
services.
At dawn they return to the dump penniless, having smoked every dollar
they
made on the street.
A straightforward profile of poverty and alienation,
it is a searing and intimate glimpse of life on the fringe.
