Plot

edit

One sunny day in Los Angeles, three heroin junkies, Tommy, T.J. and Blake, try to find some heroin so they can get high. Over the course of the day, with impending and growing withdrawal setting in, each character's backstory is explored to a degree as they embark on a seedy Odyssey and increasingly desperate measures to stave off dope sickness.
