Midnight Radio

It's a rainy and dreary December in 1975. The Vietnam War is finally over and Christmas is just around the corner. The Tong Wars are raging in San Francisco's Chinatown and a local biker gang is misbehaving. Sam's a lonely taxi cab driver who dreams of being a writer. Nora is a night bartender with marital problems who dreams of what might have been. Cleo's a go-go dancing hooker with a self-loathing problem who dreams of being a boutique owner. And Bobby's a crippled and emotionally scarred Vietnam Veteran who wishes he didn't have dreams. These four people have a couple of things in common. A dive bar in the city's Tenderloin district called The Nest. And a love for a late night radio program hosted by a mysterious DJ who calls herself Mother Deal.
