"Die größte Liebesgeschichte, die die Welt je gesehen hat"
William Shakespeares Romeo + Julia
Das von Angst, Gewalt und Verbrechen geprägte Verona Beach wird beherrscht von zwei rivalisierenden Familien, den Montagues und den Capulets. Inmitten dieser gnadenlosen, haßerfüllten Welt entfacht die grenzenlose Liebe zwischen Romeo und Julia, den einzigen beiden Kindern der verfeindeten Patriarchen. Die Situation eskaliert, als Romeo im Affekt den kaltblütigen Mörder seines besten Freundes, den Capulet-Neffen Tybalt, erschießt. Er muß fliehen. Verzweifelt schmiedet Julia einen fatalen Plan, der sie für immer mit Romeo zusammenbringen soll...
