A young heroin addict (Arielle Holmes) roams the streets of New York to panhandle and get her next fix, while her unstable boyfriend (Caleb Landry Jones) drifts in and out of her life at random. Harley loves Ilya. He gives her life purpose and sets her passion ablaze. So, when he asks her to prove her love by slitting her wrists, she obliges with only mild hesitation, perhaps because of her other all-consuming love: heroin.
