They are the people we love to hate. You know they've got you when you find a ticket tucked under your windshield, a yellow boot clinging to your car's wheel, or when you can't find your car at all. And it's all in a day's work for the men and women of the Philadelphia Parking Authority.

PARKING WARS is a one-hour documentary profiling the people on the front line of the enforcement division of the Philadelphia Parking Authority. It's a first-hand look at what happens when the citizens of Philidelphia come face to face with ticketers, booters, and towers of one of the city's most lucrative agencies. The car is an integral part of the American dream. It is also one of the most tangible expressions of American freedom and identity. And when you take all that away, the response isn't pretty.

Both intense and comical, PARKING WARS is an exclusive ride with the people behind the stereotypes. Hit the streets with Frannie Esposito, a veteran ticketer who's been dodging angry drivers for 12 years. See what a woman will do to keep Steve Garfield and his booting partner Keith Hevener away from her tires. Meet tower Dave Sojourner, who is called every name in the book but still keeps a smile on his face. And get a behind the scenes look at the parking court, car impound lot, and weekly car auctions.

From the policing of the nightly illegal drag races to confronting angry drivers, the Philadelphia Parking Authority might be one of the best places to answer the question, is Philadelphia really the city of brotherly love?
