A darkly comic, surreal portrait of urban alienation and nihilism in 1970s New York, where systemic chaos and apathy corrode human connection.
A young nihilistic New Yorker copes with pervasive urban violence, obscene phone calls, rusty water pipes, electrical blackouts, paranoia, and ethnic-racial conflict during a typical summer of the 1970s.
