A group of L.A. crack addicts try to escape the despair of their lives by duping a celebrity junkie. Cody (Byrd), a middle-aged former musician, is the de facto leader of the group, whose estranged son brings news that his ex-wife has died. Actor-turned-director Wirth turns in a fine film which includes excellent performances and a rare insight into the inner lives of the "crackheads" that are often just part of the periphery of most urban dramas.
