Movie Description When a friend OD's and winds up in a coma, a mismatched pair of Detroit junkies strive to seek help in kicking their heroin habit in government-sponsored programs, only to find themselves drowning in the comical--and sadly accurate--bureaucratic morass of sanctioned detox centers. An authentic, scathingly satiric black comedy debut from actor-turned-writer/director Vondie Curtis Hall, featuring the final big screen performance of murdered rapper Tupac Shakur.
