When Howard Brookner lost his life to AIDS in 1989 the 35-year-old director had completed two feature documentaries and was in post-production on his narrative debut Bloodhounds of Broadway. Twenty-five years later his nephew Aaron sets out on a quest to find the lost negative of Burroughs: The Movie his uncle's critically-acclaimed portrait of legendary author William S. Burroughs. When Aaron uncovers Howard's extensive archive in Burroughs’ bunker it not only revives the film for a new generation but also opens a vibrant window on New York City’s creative culture from the 1970s and ‘80s and inspires a wide-ranging exploration of his beloved uncle's legacy.
