What is it that draws the human heart into the big city? On the beat along the seamy side, a rookie cop is on the point of making the discovery of a lifetime, about the beauty of the unlovliest places.
People have the same old needs wherever you find them. The scales of what is good for them and what is not hang from the hand of the Mother, the one who cares, the one who hardly ever comes into the light. Among the shadows between lamp posts, a girl is finding her way to resignation. She is not natural in the land of trading one’s own flesh for a living, and her instinct is to head for any safety on offer. By a stroke of fate, she is brought to the face of truth by the arm of the law. Still holding the scales of her own life, before anger and indignation can take the final toll and click the turnstile behind her for always, she stands at the crossroads, and unknowingly touches the life of a man with her mother’s heart.
