On a September night in 1977, after the July blackout and the August capture of the Son of Sam, two men meet at the Badlands bar at the foot of Christopher Street in New York City’s West Village. In the morning, one of them is dead.
Is he a victim of the serial killer who’s been dismembering men and dumping their remains in the Hudson River? Randy, a detective, has gone undercover to find out. And Arthur, a gossip columnist, has been contacted by the killer who wants to tell his side of the story. As Arthur introduces Randy to the West Village demi-monde, the dance of death between the two strangers who met for a one night stand reaches its fatal conclusion.
The killer once apprehended, is eventually exploited by Randy and Arthur for their own purposes, and, subsequently, by a Hollywood director making a film about a serial killer in New York’s leather scene.
The play ends as the killer is released from prison and confronts the new normal of today’s gay community.
