NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell plot

New York City, 1977 – a year in which the metropolis had fallen into decline and crime ran rampant, with a lack of employment, money, police, schools, and social security. In July '77, the city was struck by a power outage that plunged a large part of New York into darkness and led to the mass looting of shops. At the same time, a serial killer named Son of Sam roamed the streets. And yet, out of this chaos also emerged a creative force that asserted itself in various ways, for example through developments in punk, hip-hop, and graffiti art.
