The shocking and senseless assault of a privileged suburban teen leads local punk bouncer "Doyle" to investigate the crime on behalf of a grieving family, ultimately exposing a complex multi-billion-dollar real estate investment scheme tied to the 1984 Olympics whose greedy tentacles reach deep into City Hall. A vivid and unquestionably authentic portrayal of LA's vibrant and violent 1980s, Lost Angeles brings to life the punk music, gangs and corrupt officials and, in doing so, echoes themes of race and politics very much alive and unresolved in 2021.
