Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Italian mobsters go to war with black hoodlums, turning the streets of Harlem into an all-out war zone as both sides call on their best assassins to level the playing field. Feared crime boss Big Tony (Frank DeKova) isn't about to give up his turf without a fight, even if it means calling on his most unpredictable assassin - a psychotic transvestite who makes lethal use of her high-heeled shoes.
