            This graphic novel tells the story of the squatter's movement in New York City in the 1980's that led to massive police evictions and riots in Tompkins Square Park.  Through the use of comics the author tells the story of who the squatters are, what forces drove them to living such a lifestyle, and how the police response to the movement escalated tensions between community groups and law enforcement, eventually erupting into street battles.
