Stressed out New Yorker David Owen (Robbins) has had enough of the cacophony of daily life in the Big Apple to take vigilante action. His mis- sion begins with vandalizing cars with relentless alarms but soon escalates to a full-scale vigilante situ- ation. David’s campaign of window-smashing and alarm-tampering inevitably leads to an arrest, which brings him to the attention of an opportunistic journalist who makes him into an instant folk hero. But when David goes up against a Giuliani-esque mayor (Hurt), his message is in danger of being drowned out by a symphony of screeching tires and jackhammers until he devises an ingenious scheme to win his fight.
