Frankie and Allie fight to make a difference against the heroin epidemic. The two recovering addicts spend their lives pulling needles out of the arms of active users. After that problem is solved, the addicts must be placed into the proper treatment facility. Sadly, the corrupt billion-dollar treatment industry has made it difficult and dangerous. They allowed the film crew all access for one weekend. What transpires over 72 hours is a heartbreaking account of addicts struggling to survive.
