A surreal, energetic dark comedy that mines 1950s Brooklyn street culture for both humor and social critique, blending nostalgia with gritty realism and psychedelic visual style.

In 1953 Brooklyn, charismatic hood and The Stompers leader Vinnie Genzianna, his friend and second-in-command Crazy Shapiro, and their respective girlfriends Roz and Eva get wrapped up in an escalating conflict with the rival Black gang, The Chaplains, lead by Boogaloo Jones.
