Synopsis
Ronnie and his son Brayden run Big Ronnie’s Disco Walking Tour, the best and only Disco walking tour in Los Angeles. Ronnie, a delusional relic from the disco era, hides a terrible secret from his shy browbeaten man-child son Brayden. During one tour, both men take a fancy to Janet, a curly redhead who takes a shine to a disbelieving Brayden. The two begin a whirlwind courtship, much to Ronnie’s dismay. In the city of Lost Angeles, a Greasy Strangler begins stalking the streets. As this father-son love triangle intensifies, and the killings continue, Brayden starts to suspect his own father.
