A New York Heartbeat

He's a 17-year-old gang leader trying to make a rep for himself on the streets of New York in 1959. But Spider finds himself in way over his head when he steals a suitcase of money from Casket Mike, a notorious gangster who wouldn't think twice about blowing away a punk hood if it means getting his cash back.

On the run, Spider finds a hiding place from the heat on the streets when he's taken in by Tamara, a sheltered young woman whose reclusive uncle, the legendary mobster Big Didi, has his own history with Casket Mike.
