Summary
A harrowing documentary chronicling 18 months in the lives of three addicts. This documentary follows Brenda, Dicki and Boo-Boo, three crack house friends. They have grown up in Lowell. In the 18 months it took to film this documentary, the camera follows these three in and out of crack houses, rehab centers and jails. Their sad struggle mirrors the despair of their home town. There are many "Lowells" in America, where citizens are abandoned to drugs and the empty factories echo their despair
