|---|
Ross was a college student, but now he's a full-time speed freak. His dealer introduces him to the man who makes the drugs, and Ross becomes his driver in exchange for free meth. Ross is running from problems with his girlfriend, and Nikki, the drug-maker's girlfriend, needs to escape because she is being abused. When Ross takes her away on a crazy, speed-fueled roadtrip, both of their lives begin changing, but will they ever beat their speed addictions and put their lives back together?
