Based on a true story in San Francisco, 1969.
The front lines of the counter-culture have overrun the city. Golden Gate Park is littered with flower-crowned hippies burning draft cards in a psychedelic haze. Hendrix and Joplin serenade the tourists of North Beach under the flashing neon tits of Carol Doda. Across town and a world away, the infamous Tenderloin District is alive with hookers, pimps, and sultry femme fatales.

Jessica Rawlson, a middle-class teen, flees suburbia as she fears her sexual desires will be exposed as perversions. Fate leads her to The Tenderloin where a gangster lesbian subculture thrives. The District is crawling with corrupt cops, hustlers and homos. Love and murder share the sidewalks with queens in high heels and high hair as suburban perverts cruise the "TL" on safaris of lust.

Jessica embarks on a riveting journey as she rises from street prostitute to mastermind of her own empire. Her walk on the wild side offers intoxicating freedom and power even as she must challenge her own moral boundaries, shuffle lovers, appease mob bosses, and keep vicious territorial predators at bay as she fights to survive at the top.
