When a gang battle costs a man one of his closest relatives, he sets his sights on evening the score in this crime drama. When two rival crime factions begin waging war on each other over control of prostitution and drug trafficking, a woman who was merely an innocent bystander is killed in the crossfire. Her brother, devastated by the loss, is determined to get revenge and enlists the help of a street-smart prostitute to find out who was responsible for his sister's death. Ritmo del Silenzio, also released under the titles Desperate Crimes, Port of Crime, and Mafia Docks, stars Franco Columbo, Traci Lords, and Denise Crosby as the streetwalker.
