Rich in tempo and on a multitude of levels, a picture is given of people who work and live in the New York subway. John Diresta is a New York cop who works in the subway-and he hates his job. Nevertheless, or maybe that's exactly why, he has been voted New York's funniest cop. He is regularly on stage as a stand-up comedian. Daily, Diresta and his colleagues run into Jerry Howards and his countless mates, who are all homeless and have lived in the endless subway tunnels for years. Worlds, stories, amusing and unfathomable, clash intensely here everyday.
