Somewhere to Run

is a gritty, noir-inspired drama set in a decaying urban landscape, focusing on marginalized characters—sex workers, addicts, the homeless, and disillusioned loners—whose lives intersect in a diner called Leon’s, a sanctuary in a dangerous world. The story weaves together themes of survival, redemption, and the search for connection amid violence and despair.

It’s a hot night in the forgotten
warehouse district

Another dead body is found. 

For April, A rogue sex worker, this night starts like any other 

when the sun goes down on the city streets. 

A cup of coffee and a cheese danish at Leon’s Diner.  A slow dance with a friend who represents nothing more than safety when held. 

Leon's diner is the one bright spot in the dark night.  A refuge for the homeless, drug addicts,  and prostitutes. A respite for weekend warriors and late-night partiers, and a haven for travelers looking for a connection, settling on a cup of coffee, a slice of pie, or an omelet,

before the sun rises. 

It’s just another weekend for April until she meets a Coop.

Someone who listens, someone who sees.

For April, someone who makes her feel, again.

These three nights center around Leon’s diner,  a place for a hot cup of coffee, a warm bowl of soup, 

and hope in the face of despair.
