New York, quartier de Hell's Kitchen. Bobby Grace est un dealer a la petite semaine, qui vend de la cocaine pour survivre. La chance semble lui sourire lorsqu'un yuppie s'adresse a lui pour acheter un kilo de poudre. Le jour du deal, la tension monte et les choses tournent mal. Dans un quotidien banal et morose, Bobby G. tente de survivre dans cette ville sans cesse en mouvement, qui ne laisse aucune chance au hasard, ni a la fragilite. Il courra sans cesse apres sa liberte, cherchant a vaincre son destin. Mais New York est un labyrinthe sans fin.

Off Jackson Avenue is an interwoven crime story set in New York City involving a Mexican woman who has been tricked into sex-slavery by an Albanian pimp and must find a way to break out; A Japanese hit man who is in town to do a job for the Chinese mob and must finish his assignment despite the fact that he is haunted by his recently-dead mother's ghost; And a local car-thief who must go on one last stealing spree to raise enough money to buy a tire store and go legit. A smack-bang tale of ambition, survival and fate, Off Jackson Avenue reminds us that there are still some parts of New York City that you won't find on any map.

While other media outlets bring you news as it happens, only the Onion News Network has the power to bring you the news before it happens. In the year 2137 a catastrophe has reduced the world to a lawless wasteland — food and water are scarce, social institutions have crumbled, and a screaming, tattooed thug has been installed as the president of what remains of the United States.
