Synopsis

Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. In the years that

followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and Ecstasy, and

develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like

he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he

needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince

him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail

in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and true story of his relapse

and the road to recovery. As we watch Nic plunge the mental and physical

depths of drug addiction, he paints a picture for us of a person at

odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself.

It's a harrowing portrait -- but not one without hope.
