Rune, the quirky, irrepressible heroine of Manhattan Is My Beat, is struggling to become a filmmaker in New York, shooting a documentary about a series of shocking bomb attacks on the adult film industry, seemingly perpetrated by religious terrorists.

But when one of these explosions shatters the lives of those close to her, Rune suspects that there's more to the attacks than meets the eye. Aided by NYPD bomb squad expert, Sam Healy, and armed with nothing more than a video camera and her brash courage, she plunges into the underbelly of Manhattan, on a dangerous search for the real killer.
