Summer of Sam

In 1977, New York City lived in terror as the "44 Caliber Killer" stalked its streets, targeting young women and their male companions with brutal precision. In a small Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, the residents were gripped by paranoia and distrust, fueled by the serial killings that seemed to be linked to their own tight-knit community. As the bodies piled up, a group of neighbors struggled to come to terms with their own dark secrets and desires, set against the backdrop of a city on edge and the country's own growing unease with crime and violence.
