Despite their dangerous drug habits, they attempt to wean themselves off heroin and lead a "useful and fulfilling" life. However, they quickly relapse and get caught up in a world of shoplifting, arrest, and negligence-induced death. The movie takes a dark turn as the group struggles with addiction, loss, and HIV/AIDS, ultimately leading to a tragic and devastating conclusion.
