At the heart of New York City's 1976 vibrant scene is a cascade of lives destined to intersect. Two estranged heirs of a massive fortune, a pair of lovers entwined in turbulent relationships, suburban teens lured by the punk culture, a tenacious detective, and an investigative reporter—each orbit the mystery of a shooting on New Year's Eve in Central Park. As the narrative stretches from geopolitical tensions to the city's artistic soul, a blackout on July 13, 1977, thrusts these characters into darkness, altering their destinies irreversibly. 'City on Fire' is a sprawling tapestry that weaves together themes of love, betrayal, art, and the quest for human connection, set against the backdrop of a city on the brink of monumental change.
