The year is 1977, punk rock is pushing disco out of the limelight and New York is experiencing one of its hottest summers of all time. While the city sizzles, a maniac with a gun is stalking single women through the Italian-American suburbs, taunting newspapers with crazed bulletins -signed “Son Of Sam”- that boast about his killings. The city is in panic. To stop the madness a Mafia boss puts out a contract on Sam, a challenge eagerly accepted by streetwise Joey T. and his gang. Joey figures that it must be someone local, someone they know. When the mob mentality takes over, a witch hunt ensues.
