Welcome to the Bowery

New York City: The Roaring Twenties. Fairy-Boy Grace and dockworker Dino hold court in the Bowery, hangout of bohos and deadbeats. But holding court don't pay the bills; selling sex to seamen gives Grace jaw-ache, and fast approaching is 'Paresis', haute-couture Fag-Ball to end them all.

Then from the shadows: a new clientele and new opportunities for Grace and Dino. But something is worrying Dino. And just how much is Grace willing to sell?
