Daniel Yost
Small town girl Marcy (Tara Walker) comes to the LA with stars in her eyes, thinking she can make it big on "Search For A Star." Instead, with little money and no friends, she finds herself sleeping in her car.

Things dramatically change when she meets Rose (Debbie Allen), living in a cardboard box, and Mort (John Savage), a wheelchair-bound Gulf War veteran.  After first fighting over territory, these three lost souls bond in friendship, protecting and supporting each other in a story that is at once profoundly funny, heart-warming and poignant.
