A short synopsis has been compiled in order to help understanding of our film.
A social realist film about three friends, the youngest (who is seen much like a little brother to the other two) dies from a drug overdose in an alleyway, after finding him, the most headstrong character Max (Marcus) insists they dump the body, fearing that they will get the blame for their friends death as it is they who influenced him to do drugs and provided him with the illegal substances.
The rest of the film shows us how Max and Tyrone deal with the death of their friend, Max conceals his grief by taking ample amounts of drugs eventually being sent to rehab by a judge after being caught attempting to hold up a shop to get money. Tyrone slowly descends into madness unable to cope with the guilt of feeling responsible for his friends death and hiding the body, being a close friend of the deceased's family he has to watch them wonder where their son has gone and why he abandoned them.
The film concludes with Max taking an overdose and dieing in rehab (he had bribed the guard) and Tyrone cleaning himself up and giving up drugs, confessing to the hiding of the body and being sent to jail, his conscience finally clear.
