Portland, 1970s: Bob and his gang rob pharmacies and hospitals to obtain drugs and medicines. Hounded by police, they soon discover the tragic consequences of drug addiction. Gus Van Sant’s intense second feature, based on the autobiographical novel by James Fogle, is a story of excess and ghosts presented through the eyes of Matt Dillon, in one of his most lucid and lavish performances.
