Compton, California, USA – 2011

James, his older brother – Frankie, Ray and Sugar; all sat in a booth at Luxura – a new club in town. The bright lights, loud music and even some chatter was overwhelming.

Dancers were up and working; doing their expected thing. James felt uncomfortable in his seat, whiskey in hand – a major contrast to Frankie, who was enjoying himself with one of the working dancers. While Ray and Sugar conversed and encouraged him, slightly drunk out of their minds.
