This collection follows the Hush Money storyline, but focuses more on Dick Grayson/Batman and Damian/Robin. This plot follows the duo as they try to track down who's responsible for the dead children that have been found in the river recently. Their search leads them to Mr. Zsasz, and a potential new ally.
I'm getting the impression that the Streets of Gotham series is meant to be grittier than the normal Batman stories: this arc featured murdered children, serial killers (okay, Zsasz is ALWAYS creepy), more. Still, the storyline was really interesting, and we got to see some character growth for Damian; I still want to punch him most of the time, but at the end of this book, I found myself kind of liking him. Batman/Dick Grayson is hardly in this book at all: when the Damian arc isn't playing out, there's a one-shot featuring Huntress and the Man-Bat (weirdest moment of reading this: realizing that the new Batman has dated both Huntress and Oracle). It's a good story, and I look forward to reading the conclusion in House of Hush.
