Driven by the irrepressible, daily need to have a fix, Harley, a homeless, substance-dependent young woman, thinks that she has found true love in the mean streets of bustling New York City. But then, Ilya, her abusive, drug-addled boyfriend, who dominates her vulnerable heart and gives her a reason to live, asks the unthinkable. Suddenly, devotion becomes a cruel word, and only self-sacrifice can bring atonement. Now, desperate Harley is ready to do Ilya's bidding without a second thought; however, before long, she will have to make a tough decision: choose between her love for Ilya and her unbreakable heroin addiction. —Nick Riganaslovedrug addictioncocainehomeless peoplelife on the streetsPlot summaryAdd synopsisGenresCrimeDramaMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated R for drug use throughout, pervasive language, disturbing and violent images, sexuality, and graphic nudityParents guide
