Shasta Allenworth and Tizoc Cisneros have a problem. They fell madly in love while locked up together in a California prison and the passage of time has only deepened their love. That wouldn't be a problem if the world could accept them as they are, but their respective worlds have little room for romance. Shasta works the streets-selling her body in hopes of one day earning enough money to get a sex change. To become in body what she has always been in mind, spirit, and the eyes of her lover: a woman.
Tizoc, meanwhile, is deep into the dope game, and has his own dreams of one day going legit, becoming an entrepreneur with his own fleet of food trucks.
Soon a chance to make a big score appears, offering Shasta and Tiz a way to escape the streets, and to fulfill their dreams. But the path ahead is dangerous, and will take both from the smalltime to a world of international intrigue where death waits around every corner. It is a brutal world. An animal world.
Animal World is a tale of star-crossed lovers doing what they can to buck fate and make their dreams come true. Much like an updated Dog Day Afternoon, it is a crime drama that recognizes the world is cold and leaves little room for love. So little room, in fact, that sometimes committing a crime is the only way to give that love a chance.
