TONY TULATHIMUTTE A rollercoaster of a cult love story following a dancer in San Francisco's erotic underground. Baby spends her days with her sweet, cross-dressing, drug-dealing ex-boyfriend, Dino, and every night dancing at Paradise Lost, a strip club where she transforms into whoever her clients want her to be. When Dino disappears suddenly, Baby plunges headfirst into San Francisco's shady, erotic underground of dive bars and sex dungeons to find him. She encounters a surreal cast of characters: Simon, a recluse who pays her for increasingly bizarre favours; a suicide fetishist named Nobody; and Emeline, Paradise's new hire who seems to want to steal Baby's whole identity, starting with her underwear. Will Baby manage to find the only man she's ever loved? Or might her past catch up with her first?
