Overview

A man living in a flophouse tries to impress his long-estranged blind father by embellishing on what the old man can't see. Two employees of a porn theater pick the wrong day to get stoned. A fragile young woman and follower of a street preacher witnesses a tragedy, setting her on a mission that may be beyond her abilities. It's 1979 on Block E, a woebegone Times Square-type district filled with characters of all stripes-hookers and the homeless, addicts and drug dealers. But the streets also belong to the hopeful-the many people wanting so much more.
