Chicago. West side. Follow the paths of three young lovers, at the turn of the millenium. Working-class punks and degenerate-labelled youth move across the urban landscape, effortlessly, at night. Suffering the depths to which culture has sunk. Looking for refuge. Fearless in love. Will is a young man with a big heart and big dreams. Intelligent, sensitive and compassionate. Determined to make a life for himself in the city. Determined to learn the code of the streets. He falls for a girl, Bella, who has a punk attitude and style all her own. In no time, she steals his heart. LIfe gets complicated, as Will gets lost in love. There is another woman, Cass who has her heart set on Will. But the love is unrequited. Danger, drama, and emotional turmoil loom on the horizon. Generation X. Raised on punk rock, hip-hop and celebrity worship. Raised on high fructose corn-syrups. Raised on pop and pop culture detritus. Raised on flat land, with crazy straws. Living on Division Street: between flatline expectations, and naturally evocative feeling states of youthful vitality. Praying not to be reduced to culture's blind carbon copies. Wannabe rockstars and burnouts. Follow the tale of youth who live and love large, in the shadow of the generation before them. Where love becomes power... with tragic consequences
