Plot[]
In 1990s New York City, teen runaway (and stripper) Froggy is caught in the throes of heroin addiction as she falls in love with a fellow junky, war veteran Baylis. The couple finds comfort in each other, yet they are already far too deep in a wild downward spiral. The possibility of redemption arises, with hope for some semblance of a "normal life", but Bayliss and Froggy are unable to find the strength and control to clean themselves up. Their path leads inexorably toward mutual self-destruction.
