Kris is a spun-out artist, as talented at being self destructive as he is at painting. Michael, his best friend, is having a tough time dealing with the recent death of his mother and maintains the mantra that a good buzz a day keeps the real world at bay. The third member of the trio is Kris' girlfriend, Ryan, very much torn between her guys, loyal to a fault to Kris and uneasy with her attraction to his best friend. Michael can't win these days: as an actor, as a grieving son, in scoring a good fix or even in getting a litte sleep. A scamming drug dealer feels the full brunt of Michael's frustration and gets the crap beaten out of him. One thing that does develop, however, is Michael's closeness to Ryan as she rebels against Kris' antics. Michael hasn't been known to get it right lately and putting the moves on his best friend's girlfriend falls right in line with his general fuck-ups. Behind all this something else develops without anyone noticing - whacking a dealer is a dangerous thing...
