In New York ereignen sich eines Tages eine Reihe seltsamer Todesfälle: einem Fensterputzer wird bei seiner Arbeit der Kopf abgerissen, eine junge sonnenbadende Frau wird von ihrem Liegestuhl auf dem Dach eines Hochhauses entführt, und ein Bauarbeiter wird auf der Suche nach seiner Mittagsstulle selbst zur Mahlzeit eines Monsters.“ (Quelle)

Ach, das Monster kann man knicken, viel ungewöhnlicher ist die Geschichte des drogensüchtigen Unglücksrabens im Hintergrund, der dem System mal eine auswischen möchte (und scheitert) sowie das Stadtbild New Yorks.
