The Run Downs

Being called a Run Down means you're street trash. You get kicked on, spit at and cut deep. You walk the sharp end of a blade and your only friend is fear and hunger. Meet Grease, Holes and the Kid. Three Run Downs trapped in a roach infested trailer park who decide to make a run for it. Running isn't easy when you live on the sharp end of a blade. The three friends manage to jump a train hauling cars and take off for Phoenix from Michigan. Along the way two runaway girls jump the train. Five lost hearts form a bond and vow to take care of each other. But the blade is sharp and unforgiving. Being a Run Down is for life. The stench of the streets, the fear of hunger, the pain of the blade is a constant enemy. When the Run Downs meet a kind pastor and his wife mercy steps in. At least it seems that way. The sharp end of the blade turns up and cuts deep.Will the Run Downs find hope or end up being cut too deep to live to see a new day?
