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?

In this twist on the classic Robin Hood story, Robin is an African American lesbian social worker who quits her job when she becomes disillusioned by the failure of the system to address the needs of her community.
