Waiting to ship out, Tommy (Jan-Michael Vincent), a merchant seaman, moves into a dying neighborhood on New York's Lower East Side. He soon becomes the leader of a group of citizens who refuse to be forced out of their corner of the world by a powerful street gang known as The Souls.
Vincent turns in a fine performance as the rootless drifter who enters a community gripped by fear and comes to care enough for its denizens to put himself on the line for them.
