Billy, 60's, is a Coney Island old timer, thinking about selling his historic carousel ride as redevelopment hits the world famous amusement area. He's down on his luck until meeting two young, flirtatious girls who suddenly befriend him. Do these two sexy sirens have ulterior motives?

filmmaker's note
"Sodom by the Sea" is how the New York Times described Coney Island in 1893. Years before that, the Times described it as a home to pickpockets, prostitutes and swindlers. But it was also home to the world's first roller coaster, the world's largest Ferris Wheel, the first hot dog, America's tallest sky-scrappers, the world's largest collection of trained elephants, and what once was America's largest public beach. At night, over a million lights transformed the amusement empire into an electric Eden. This while most of the world still had no electricity. Coney Island truly represented the good, the bad, the ugly, and the sexy too.
