Лос-Анджелес. Раскинувшийся не десятки километров Славный Город Ангелов - мегаполис, полный всего, что только может представить себе человек. Город радости и трехсот солнечных дней в году, город теплого моря, белого песка, зеленых пальм, синего неба и прекрасных загорелых девушек. Город, в котором каждую минуту продается пять доз героина, в котором каждые несколько секунд совершается преступление, город, в котором вас могут убить за три доллара и полбутылки виски, в котором заехавшие по незнанию в неправильный район туристы боятся остановиться на светофоре, а те, кто остановился - очень потом жалеют о своём решении. Город, разный, как никакой другой на этой планете. Добро пожаловать. Вам теперь здесь жить.
