Plot
Barry (Frank) is a formerly successful insurance executive whose career and life are being destroyed by alcoholism, which is why he ends heading to the notorious New York City housing project Lincoln Towers to try and complete a life insurance policy sale to a nice elderly woman named Elva (Foster). Unfortunately for Barry, he quickly becomes the hated target of a savage gang called the Vampires, who run the Towers.
An attempt to kill him leads to a security guard's death and Barry's entrapment inside the building. Fortunately, he makes reluctant allies of a soft-spoken but tough repairman named Will (Parker Jr.) and a psychotic but fearless Vietnam veteran named Parker (Vincent), and in tandem with Elva's determined granddaughter Toni (Dash) they spend the worst night of their lives standing up against the evil of the Vampires.
