MOUNT PLEASANT

Mount Pleasant is where the middle-class meets the street criminals, prostitutes and drug dealers alongside boarded up businesses and greasy spoon restaurants. Doug and Sarah Cameron have just moved in to their new Mount Pleasant home when their six-year-old daughter pricks herself with an addict’s discarded needle she finds in the backyard. Nadia is a recently turned teenage prostitute and heroin addict who lives in a slum in Mount Pleasant with her boyfriend-turned-pimp/pusher Nick. Nadia’s regular john is the affluent Stephen Burrows who lives on the other side of town with his elegant wife Anne, a full-time social coordinator. As these couples interconnect, the course of their lives is changed forever.
