Growing up in the shadow of the Chrysler Building in the Sixties, 
George Sabro hungered to enter the world of the rich and famous he 
watched on television. A series of events in the Seventies led the 
Times Square bartender to become a paid lover, celebrity 
photographer, Studio-54 semi-regular, and briefly a millionaire. Now 
reduced to washing dishes in a coffee shop, George is desperate to 
get his fifteen minutes of fame before turning fifty. Hanging up his 
apron, he picks up a cereal box, walks onto Sixth Avenue, and starts 
taking hostages.
