As a young stranger enters the life of a rich but emotionally paralyzed family, everything changes.

Welcome to Los Angeless, hipsters, baddest of the bad cities, home of James Ellory, pre-eminent crime novelist of our generation. "All LA crime lives in me," says Ellroy, in this guided tour of the city that feeds his nightmares.

Three stories by three directors, three journeys into the world of teenagers and countercultures. The stories are interlaced with each other. Characters with a small performance in one story will play a major part in one of the other two stories so we will learn more about them, on the other hand central characters appear again in the periphery of one of the other stories. It is done in a casual way, comparable with the situation in daily life when two friends are running into each other by chance. Petra and Nicole in their shrill world of brightness. Loafing around, bumming and teasing guys.
