The prohibition act and the great depression made sure to take no prisoners whatsoever. With money being hard to come by, survival is about as hard as remaining sane.

Due to the poor living conditions, she and her friends must devise a plan to escape.(This story contains the following: Attempted suicide, profanity, violence, gore, and mentions of sexual assault.
