Georgetown

Georgetown cradles Josh's apartment in Washington's storied northwest quadrant, its genteel streets of gaslit rowhouses and shadowed alleys thrusting raw urban pulse against the apartment's feverish Tahitian reinvention. Tiki torches flare and leis dangle in defiant mockery of the neighborhood's polished restraint, exotic beats throbbing through walls that seal political deputy from Georgetown's whispering privilege. Escape electrifies here, fantasy devouring the familiar confines of home turf amid duty's unyielding siege.
