New York City newspaper writer J.J. Hunsecker holds considerable sway over public opinion with his Broadway column, but one thing that he can't control is his younger sister, Susan, who is in a relationship with aspiring jazz guitarist Steve Dallas. Hunsecker strongly disapproves of the romance and recruits publicist Sidney Falco to find a way to split the couple, no matter how ruthless the method.
Can a ruthless columnist maintain his iron grip on the city when his own sister defies his authority? This sharp, neon-lit collision of jazz-age ambition and predatory journalism pulses with venomous dialogue and frantic energy.
