In the gritty streets of the Bronx, Jerry Stone is a troubled young man with a dark past. After being adopted following the tragic death of his biological parents in a house fire, Jerry's childhood is marred by bullying and abuse from his adoptive family. By the time he turns nineteen, he has been in and out of juvenile detention, earning a reputation as a troubled youth known to the local police.

Desperate for a fresh start and fed up with being treated like a nobody, Jerry seizes an unexpected opportunity when he discovers a mobile hot dog business for sale at a garage sale. With dreams of turning his life around, he buys the cart and sets out to create a culinary sensation. However, when faced with the dilemma of sourcing quality ingredients, Jerry's life takes a chilling turn after a fateful encounter with a homeless man leads to an unthinkable act of violence.

In a moment of panic, Jerry decides to dispose of the man's body using his new meat grinder, rationalising that he can turn his dark secret into something profitable by incorporating human flesh into his hot dogs. As he sets up his stand outside the Bronx police station, he quickly gains popularity, impressing law enforcement and locals alike with his unique creations. But as success grows, so does the pressure to keep his secret hidden.

As Jerry navigates the complexities of his dual life, he grapples with paranoia and anxiety, feeling the walls closing in as a fireman named Mike intensifies his investigation into Jerry's operations. The tension builds as Mike interviews customers and pieces together clues that link Jerry to suspicious activities.
