description: Ana and Dina are best friends, young women, survivors of unspeakable abuse, roommates hustling a living on the mean streets of the South Bronx while finding comfort -- and more -- in each other's arms. When Dina is found murdered, a young, honorable NYPD detective named Matthew Robles comes onto the scene. Matthew finds himself inexplicably smitten with the young prostitute, but will his love and compassion be enough to turn her life around?
