Disco Godfather follows Tucker Williams, a former police officer who has become the star attraction at the Blueberry Hill nightclub, where he performs as a DJ and entertainer under the name Disco Godfather. His life in the neighborhood is disrupted when his nephew arrives at the club in a confused state after taking a hallucinogenic drug known as Angel Dust. Tucker decides to track down the people distributing the drug, and as his campaign against them widens, he finds that the dealers are as dangerous as the substance they sell.
