It stars Naomi Watts, Emory Cohen, Jennifer Ehle, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Jeremy Bobb and Brennan Brown.

In 1970s New York, former author June Leigh (Naomi Watts) lives alone in her late grandmother's dilapidated apartment after cutting herself off from the outside world.

Riddled with anxiety and agoraphobia, she spends her days watching the derelict neighbourhood below from her fourth-story window, amidst the notorious "Summer of Sam" in the blistering heat.

A police officer (Jeremy Bobb) arrives and explains there is not much he can do, but suggests he can provide extra protection for her in return for sex.

June watches a boy she thinks is Freddie being beaten by a police officer and forces herself to leave the apartment, only to discover it is not him.
