The Garden

The Garden was what they considered to be, "underground."
It technically wasn't an illegal place itself, but a there was lot of shit that went down there that was.
It was home to the widest variety of people there was. Drug dealers, murderers, prostitutes, you name it there was at least one there. Axl's little clique of people were excellent examples of that.
He's a waiter at the bar, famous around the scene for getting his incredible "tips." His friends are aware of his endeavors, even after all that he does he still has to crash at Slash's house because he doesn't have his own place.
If you're thinking he's a prostitute you're close, but not exactly. He doesn't really have sex with guys, he had too much pride, but he got his money in other ways, something enough to give his "customers" satisfaction. He didn't mind, he enjoyed it, and it pays well.
But sometimes it goes too far, Axl stands on the edge of getting into trouble, and he learns what some people he's close to are willing to do for revenge and justice. Because here, anything goes. This is the Garden.
