Elevated train moves along rails past dome of church and sign for "Williamsburgh". A statue of a horse and rider sits atop a heavily graffitied pedestal. Gang of youths strut toward camera. One makes an aggressive gesture with his arm. They walk down a trash lined street. They stand in the broken windows of a derelict building. They climb up and down broken walls. The leader of the gang speaks about how they live "like animals". They pass some construction work on the street. The leader runs up a pile of debris from a ruined building. They stand on the top floor of a building that is missing a wall. They throw things down from this height. The gang leader speaks to the camera while wearing sunglasses. He says crime does pay. He speaks about inequality of jail sentences. A flock of pigeons flies through the air.
