Sonny, a Vietnam veteran turned bank robber, held a Chase Manhattan Bank branch in Gravesend, Brooklyn, New York, at gunpoint in August 1972 in order to steal enough money ($2500) for his “wife” (Leon, a trans woman; the two, according to an onscreen TV news report, were married in a church by a priest who was defrocked shortly after, although Leon says to the police that Sal is “married and has children”) to undo his crime. It is true that Leon’s persona is based on a real-life person who had surgery. Sonny, Stevie, and Sal plan to rob the First Savings Bank of Brooklyn on a sweltering July day.

Stevie quickly becomes alarmed and takes off running. After agreeing not to intervene in the heist, Sonny discovers that the bank has already picked up most of its cash for the day, leaving him with little to steal. After that, Sonny receives an unexpected phone call from NYPD Captain Moretti, informing him that the entire city’s police force has converged on the location. In the face of dire circumstances, Sonny is forced to make a desperate deal with Moretti, requesting safe transportation to the airport and an aircraft out of the country in exchange for the protection of the bank’s workers.
