In the gritty underbelly of 1980s New York City, director Jeffrey Schwarz unearths a chilling chapter of queer history with this documentary that explores a series of unsolved murders targeting gay men who frequented the city's infamous sex clubs and cruising spots. Through the lens of a dark, investigative tone, the film follows a diverse group of voices including historians Charles Kaiser and Andy Humm, filmmaker Charles Lum, and cultural critics like Dan Savage as they piece together the terrifying climate of fear that gripped the community. The narrative centers on the shadowy figure of a serial killer who preyed on victims from the Mineshaft, a notorious S&M club, while the police’s indifference and the era’s rampant homophobia allowed the crimes to go unpunished. With contributions from Adam Baran, Armando D. Muñoz, and others, the documentary weaves archival footage with personal testimonies to confront a forgotten tragedy, offering a haunting reflection on violence, identity, and the fight for justice.
