The story

Griffin, an accomplished inline skater, works as a delivery boy in near-future dystopian Los Angeles. The city is overrun with poverty, crime, and drug use, and is considered one of the United States' only free territories in the wake of "The Great Crash": an economic catastrophe triggered by the greed of previous generations that has severely crippled the United States and left its properties up for grabs by foreign corporations and interests. Its effects are echoed by ominous events referenced throughout the film, including: news reports of riots in Washington D.C.
