Every city has a dark side, mysterious, hidden, and moreover fascinating. United States precisely is the land of the hidden and of the voluntee of knowing what is behind the scenes. In various emblematic cities of the country, there are several flood tunnels that have become the place called home for thousands of people. Hidden in those tunnels, beneath the cities, homeless people, excluded, outsiders, survive in the shadow, mired in the ignorance of their peers.
Far from the big cities and all fantasms, those outsiders, who had taken refuge in the tunnels, had become invisible. Ignored by everyone, they try to hide from the glance of others, from the light, the society, their debts and often from their inner demons. They are the symbol of the ambivalence of a city where skyscrapers deal with the underground channels.
