A car drives through the streets and tunnels of New York City. On board, four teenagers talk, play, and flirt. An innocent joyride amongst friends?

Right away the viewer understands that this is not just simple fun as the drugs get in the way…

On the ride back, the kids seem to have completely forgotten the presence of each other’s company with the simple joy of riding around town replaced by the feeling of isolation and solitude that comes with taking heroin. Through watching the film, the distance, despite the fact that they are sharing a car together, can be felt between the four teens.

Sean Baker has avoided making his film look like an anti-drugs public service announcement by focusing on the search for pleasure and the pleasure of sharing. The techno soundtrack plays a crucial role in keeping the rhythm going of this film and to embody the lifestyle of the the generation that he represents.
