How to Get Rich Quick

East Los Angeles. 1969. Hope works to live and lives to work. She drives a taxi for a living. The job has her working late nights, lending her a less than charming demeanor. She attends group therapy in some attempt to combat her insipid attitude towards life, though neither the well-meaning advice of her group members nor her medication make much of a difference. She mostly sleeps during the day, though she sometimes occupies a chair in the back of a dingy storefront church, silently wishing she could find meaning and solace in something...anything.
