Charles, 30, is a crack smoker. He is also a thief, go-between and perspicacious observer of life on the edge. In fifteen brief encounters,  Charles teaches us how to steal, sleep, love and get by in Crackopolis. Fifteen trips to an alternative, somber, violent and on occasion terribly funny town, so close yet so totally foreign.

In part one of Crackopolis, radio producer Jeanne Robet offers us an inside look at the anatomy of a coke deal.
