A heart-warming if devastating tale about two young adults trying to help their friend with his drug addiction. This film caused a flummox upon its original theatrical release. Previously films focusing on drug abuse were mainly concentrating on the gang activity of those at the lower end of the social spectrum. Some from these communities complained that those in authority did not care about the ever-increasing drug problem in American, until these types of people began to be affected.
