Description

Grounds tells the story of two troubled individuals since their youth, who now struggle in their adulthood. DeNiro Sims is a rough around the edge's ex con, former professional boxer and every other criminal field you can think of who's actually trying to go straight. But the situations he gets involved in and the people he lets into his life make that goal almost impossible. Then we have Mexico, real name Alejandra, called Allie by some, along with a long list of other alias names. She's a prostitute who's trying to slow down herself, but her slick, shamming, scamming ways keep her on the run. When these two meet up in New York City, both their lives take a wild, twisted turn of love, danger and mystery. Can they, will they survive on the gritty, city Grounds?
