'Bums' tells the story of Alexis and her mother Esther, that so far are keeping together a five-year search looking for the father of Alexis (Alexander), who disappeared without a trace when Alexis was just a teenager. Over five years, since her arrival in New York City, Esther has tirelessly sought her husband (Alexander) in shelters, hospitals and morgues here, there and everywhere, to no avail, but yet never losing her hope. On the flip side, Alexis in association with his three best 'partners-in-crime' (Henry, Hannibal, and George) are ruthlessly dedicated to harass, hunt and abuse the poor and the homeless living on the streets.
