The story

Spoon, Stretch, and Cookie are bandmates in the spoken word genre living in Detroit. When Cookie overdoses on her first hit of heroin, Spoon and Stretch decide to kick their habit. Throughout a disastrous day, the two addicts dodge police and local criminals while struggling with an apathetic government bureaucracy that thwarts their entrance to a drug rehabilitation program, all while uncertain if Cookie will make it through the day.
