Billy Straight has fled the chaos and abuse of his life at home and is fighting to survive on L.a.'s meanest streets. All alone, Billy has fashioned a precarious existence for himself using principled tricks to nourish his body and his mind. Late one night he watches from his hiding place as a man kills a woman. The victim turns out to be the ex-wife of a celebrity and overnight Billy becomes the center of terrifying attention. As he runs for his life, Billy is also tracked by a potential savior: Petra Connor, a tough, gifted LAPD homicide detective with a past of her own.
