Tensions are high and the dangers multiply as New York
City bartender and man-about-the-mean-streets Brian
McNulty---always a sucker for the plight of the little guy-
--joins forces with a motley crew of workers from the old
Savoy Hotel. McNulty has once more run afoul of the powers that be in
the New York City hotel and restaurant industry and finds
himself exiled to a down-at-the heels hotel in, for him,
the far reaches of civilization---Manhattan, west of
Eighth Avenue. Not long into his tenure, a vicious attack
on one of his fellow bartenders raises the stakes and puts
everyone on edge, and it doesn’t take much for the hotel
manager to provoke the outraged workers into a strike.
Once they hit the bricks, all hell breaks loose, and it
isn’t long until the bodies start to fall. The cops focus in on two of McNulty’s pals, a renegade
Irishman and a pretty, young waitress from Brooklyn, both
with closets full of secrets and buckets full of problems
of their own. McNulty thinks the cops, as usual, are
barking up the wrong tree, but that’s the least of his
problems. The hits in this particular instance have
angered the gods of gangsterland, and someone has
determined that McNulty is a problem.
