The story
Wren is a runaway from New Jersey living in New York City in the hopes of becoming a figure in the punk rock scene, only to find that the movement is now centered in Los Angeles.
Although she works part-time at a Xerox shop by day, Wren mostly uses her position there surreptitiously to print her fliers, and she supplements her lifestyle by mugging women in the subway.
When Paul expresses interest in Wren, she agrees to date him, but she's emotionally abusive and makes it clear to Paul that she's more interested in the stability he can offer her.
