Synopsis

Alix is a middle class, educated white girl who falls into homelessness because of her heroin addiction. Her daily life consists of hustling to buy drugs and taking advantage of her few friends out of desperation to feed her habit. When photographer Digna befriends Alix and attempts to put her on the path to recovery, Alix must examine her ethical and emotional core.
