 Robin is a social worker in Oakland on the verge of losing her job for getting too close to her clients; she s African-American and grew up in the neighborhood. She falls for Brooklyn, a White Frenchwoman, who s a thief with dreams of running a motorcycle repair shop. Robin is not only willing to be Brooklyn s lover, she s willing to join in the robberies because she sees community projects that need money: she becomes an anonymous Robin Hood. When her personal life takes a sharp turn and she wants to do one last job, Brooklyn s jealousy flares. Is there any way to resolve these conflicts of love, family, finance, and violence?
