Rose

ROSE knows only the moment and in every one of those moments she feels her flesh like a butcher handles meat. Her flesh bleeds and burns, her flesh is pain, her flesh earns her money to get things that hide the pain for a short, stolen brightness. Rose is a prostitute and BLONDIE is her pimp, a crime lord and his empire, his realm of Hellville collapses over a few days, and the catalyst is one of his whores, Rose a seemingly insignificant single mother and junkie. Rose is the secret lover of Blondie's right-hand man (TONY) and the only man he trusts to call friend. Tony is Blondie's chief enforcer and helps run the Hellville Club, he is also a bare-knuckle boxer, the fading reminder of a missed opportunity as a professional fighter. Rose desperate for a fix turns a trick for cash not knowing that Blondie is having her watched. ELLIE, Rose's daughter is in tow, a silent presence in her mother's dark world. Rose, Ellie and Tony, the three of them an imperfect little family bonded through pain and suffering struggle to escape to find a better part of the imperfect world to live in together. Rose must find the inner strength to reclaim her life and escape the hell that is Hellville.
