The Odd Squad Joe Benevento On the streets of a post “white-flight” neighborhood in Queens in the early ’70’s where muggings, drug-deals and racial conflicts are commonplace, three teens, one black, one white, one Puerto Rican, are labeled “The Odd Squad.” They’re best friends in spite of powerful neighborhood pressures to stick with “their own kind.” Reflecting the street language, music, dance, dress and sub-cultures of the times, The Odd Squad tells a story of friendship challenged by peer pressure, prejudice and the allure of sex and drugs.
