Synopsis

From the wild Irish pubs of the Bronx, to the bizarre world of the underground video art scene in SoHo, to the sleazy battle-zone known as television news, FROM THE BLOCK captures the hearts, minds, and souls of best friends and worst enemies as they each pursue their own visions of heaven and hell.

Every journey begins with a first step, but Jerry Pellicano's began with an ice-ball right in the kisser. And what started out as an idle quest for sex, full-time employment, and the perfect egg-cream, suddenly becomes a desperate pursuit for meaning and justice, guided by the spirit of a gentle, departed soul.

Hang on to your barstools as the locals at "Third Base" take you for a ride on the mean streets of New York in the late 1970s, where every day seems to ask the question; "Am I selling out...or buying in?"
