From Harlem to the East Village, Manhattan’s various music scenes provide the backdrop for three stories of deception and revenge. “Killer Chops” A jazz guitarist is shot in gentrifying Harlem. People will kill to get their hands on a prime piece of real estate—or was the motive something else? “Stone Cool” Murder is one way to score a prime gig—especially if a guy’s been double-crossed by an old friend. “Mojo Hand” An aging rock-and-roller is surprised to find that he likes a settled life with his young wife and little daughter—but then he discovers that nothing’s what it seems.
