In the desolate streets of New York, a dark and disturbing secret lurks among the people. The story follows a man named Frank Zito, a pariah whose life has been marked by pain and tragedy. Raised in an abusive environment, Frank has developed a deeply fragmented psyche, leading him to commit atrocious acts. His obsession with women becomes a one-way path, as his increasingly erratic and violent behavior drives him to embark on a series of chilling murders.
Each of his victims becomes not just another number on his list, but a manifestation of his darkest fears and desires. As the film progresses, the tension rises when Frank falls in love with Anna, a photographer who could be his only way toward redemption.

Caught between the search for affection and his murderous impulses, the line between sanity and insanity blurs.
With intense direction and a visceral approach to violence, this narrative invites viewers not only to experience the terror of Frank's actions but also to explore the emotional scars that have led him to become the monster he is. The unsettling story culminates in an explosive ending that redefines what it truly means to be a maniac.
