A group of actors in the East Village of New York City have been rehearsing for a play when the lead actress in the play turns up dead.

From Brooklyn to the Bronx, Soho to Greenwich, Union Square to Wall Street... Join us and the friends, collaborators and gallery owners who supported Jean-Michel Basquiat throughout his life. The first ever recognized graffiti artist, who saw international success as a neo-expressionist painter in the 80s, Basquiat is a true contemporary hero who died at the peak of his career.

A film noirish atmosphere is created to show detective Lunch (a popular underground musician and poet) plow her way through the plans of a corporate businessman who seeks government defense contracts through real "corporate wars" and the manipulation of politicians.

Pionnier de l’art contemporain par sa renommée et l’abondance de son œuvre, Jean-Michel Basquiat a produit une œuvre des plus riches en un temps très court. Tamra Davis, rend ici hommage à l’artiste qu’elle a très bien connu grâce à des images et entretiens inédits issus de ses propres archives. Un documentaire incontournable sur l’itinéraire d’un enfant de New York.
