City in Still Life explores the stilled inside lives of New Yorkers in the city that never sleeps. These characters have deeply impacted the culture and society of NYC, but when the world stops and they’re on their own, how have they changed their business? How are they changing themselves? What is to come of this city on a hill turned ghost town?
