Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the city and follow the street numbers as emotional signposts as they lead you on a heartrending journey through the interplay of beauty, pain, nostalgia, and resilience. Honey & Sting is a testament to the power of words and the indomitable spirit of Miami’s streets.
