Alix (Ana Reeder) is a druggie living on the streets of Manhattan. Digna (Michael Hyatt) is an acclaimed photographer in the same city. Their worlds intersect when Digna finds Alix passed out in a stairwell and decides to take her in and help her get back on her feet. At first, it seems the two women couldn't be more different, but as they get to know each other, they realize they're both driven by the same fear and soon form a strong bond.

Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: Has all the hallmarks of a high-quality independent production, where real-life texture and genuine emotion more than compensate for lack of polish.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

For better and worse, Rosemary Rodriguez's directing debut feels just like what it is -- a drama about addiction made by a recovering addict. full review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Rosemary Rodriguez makes a worthy debut with this troubling tale of a young druggie struggling to survive on the streets of the East Village.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Despite its crudeness, the film has a number of scenes that are so real they hurt. full review

Stephen Holden, New York Times

Digna's struggle with sellout guilt is way more interesting than Alix's boilerplate dissembly, but ultimately Digna's just a pawn in the moralist checkmate. full review
