During the summer of 1977, a serial killer known as the Son of Sam keeps all of New York City on edge with a series of brutal murders.

A group of friends in a small Italian neighborhood become convinced that the notorious killer is someone close to home as the madman's reign of terror sparks a wave of distrust that tears several relationships apart. The philandering Vinny (John Leguizamo) unwittingly almost becomes a victim of the psychopath, and soon he and numerous people in his orbit, including his wife, Dionna (Mira Sorvino), his punk-rocker friend, Ritchie (Adrien Brody), and aspiring porn star Ruby (Jennifer Esposito), are trying to figure out the identity of the killer, before it's too late.
