Kingstown

Kingstown is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. 
== Overview ==
In The Mayor of Kingstown, Mike McLusky explains how Kingstown is a company town, where the business is incarceration. A place where seven prisons within a ten-mile radius are the norm.
In Orion, Iris arrives at the local Kingstown strip club where she's supposed to work while in town. Though she is a sex worker, she's not accustomed to dancing. According to Milo Sunter, sex workers walk the street in Kingstown, as opposed to the posh New York life Iris had previously been living. The men in charge of the strip club then make her undress to decide if she'll work out for them. Later, when she is encouraged to wear a G-string instead of dancing nude in order to leave a little mystery, Iris for her part says that the only mysterious thing about the human body is the eyes.
