The movie follows Joe, a heroin addict, throughout his quest to score more drugs. The episodic plot occurs over a single day and centers on Joe's problematic relationship with his on-off, sexually frustrated girlfriend. During the course of the day, Joe overdoses in front of an upper-class couple, attempts to fool Welfare into approving his methadone treatment by having Holly fake a pregnancy, and frustrates the women in his life with his drug-induced impotence.
A raw, unflinching look at addiction and desperation. It feels gritty and bleak, capturing the grim reality of a day spent chasing a fix. The film offers a stark, unvarnished portrayal of its characters' struggles.
