   Summary

   There's a place in the desert where best friends meet. They talk about their lives, and the hopes they have for the future. Sometimes, these friends fall in love, and sometimes they fight. Sometimes, if they're very lucky, they will build a life together. Some of these friends become sisters and some of them become something else. In the daylight they have their jobs, but at night there's music, and promises to never leave each other alone again. Being alone, and overlooked, dead in the sand of a parched, barren riverbed is a thing of the past, but then again so is this tale.
