In 1981, Arthur Fleck is a party clown and aspiring stand-up comedian who lives with his mother, Penny, in crime-ridden Gotham City. He suffers from a neurological disorder that causes him to have random, uncontrollable laughing fits, for which he takes medication that he obtains through the city's social services program. After Arthur is attacked by street youths while on the job, his co-worker Randall gives him a revolver to defend himself.
