Tiger City

As crime stories go, Tiger City is not the usual fair. It is a POWERFUL blend of suspense, and thought- provoking themes. It is timely, as well as nostalgic. Set in early 1970's New York, it involves a struggling singer/songwriter who, unexpectedly, is charged and convicted of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and illegal drug possession. Once he is sentenced to a rather lengthy incarceration, at Attica State Prison, he suddenly finds himself in the midst of the institution's infamous riots. In his sense of disappointment and despair, he begins to empathize with the inmates, and calls a local radio station, from the prison, during the 'uprising', and falsely claims that several of them have escaped into nearby Buffalo, which in turn causes city-wide pandemonium and fear. What follows is nothing short of staggering, terrifying, and surprising. Tiger City takes you through a whirlwind of emotions, and will leave you STUNNED for quite some time.
