Linden Hills is an enticing monument to black success, those who live ther represent the epitome of achievement. But for two young street poets who journey thru the community doing odd jobs one winter, it is a very different story. Behind the facades, they discover a place inhabited by lost souls trapped in the American dream. A beguiling epic, brilliant and magical yet so real. A fine description of emotions so human, some petty, some loving, and some grandiloquent.
