The film follows "Ekaj" (Jake Mestre), a young man who’s both attractive and innocent, arriving in New York City with hope but very little else to his name. It doesn't take him long to discover that the city is a difficult and unwelcoming place for someone without money. He then meets "Mecca" (Badd Idea), who offers him guidance. "Mecca," struggling with AIDS, drinks frequently and resorts to minor theft just to survive. Simultaneously, "Ekaj" seems drawn to the rough personality of "Johnny" (Scooter LaForge), who often mistreats him but whose presence unexpectedly begins to toughen him up, making him more perceptive and less easily hurt. As the story unfolds, his friend's declining health sparks something within the young man that might help him navigate the corrupt, dangerous, and disease-filled world he’s now immersed in. While it appears to be a raw depiction of life on the streets, Mestre doesn't quite capture the attitude of this young man convincingly – if these situations were genuine, I imagine he wouldn’t have survived very long, regardless of "Mecca." The shaky, hand-held camera work intended to create an edgy, documentary feel became irritating after roughly ten minutes. "Ekaj" isn't a particularly compelling character, and although Badd Idea was better as someone facing death head-on, his role wasn’t substantial enough to lend the film authenticity or allow for real development of his young, directionless charge. The story also feels unevenly paced and drags on longer than its eighty-minute runtime. It had promise – the idea is interesting – but ultimately it doesn't quite succeed, in my opinion.
