Till death do they party.

A darkly comedic, visually dazzling chronicle of excess and ambition in the 1980s New York club scene, where friendship and euphoria curdle into addiction, paranoia, and tragedy.

The New York club scene of the 80s and 90s was a world like no other. Into this candy-colored, mirror ball playground stepped Michael Alig, a wannabe from nowhere special. Under the watchful eye of veteran club kid James St. James, Alig quickly rose to the top... and there was no place to go but down.
