Plot summary
It is Christmas Eve in Los Angeles. John wakes in a park as someone makes off with his shoes, which are lucky sneakers and where he keeps his cash, and the thief outruns him. He works Santa Monica Boulevard as a hustler, putting money aside for one night in a plush hotel over his Christmas birthday. His savings keep disappearing, through robbery or through payback over a drug deal in which he cheated a dealer. Donner, another hustler who is new to the street, wants John to come away with him to Branson, Missouri, where a relative runs a theme park and could find them work. Donner has feelings for John. John does not take to the plan at first.
