Spoiler Free Review:
In the middle of a desert, a drug enforcement officer tells his partner of a nightmare about seeing his mother brutally murdered. A group of privileged high school students sit around doping. At a storage rental facility, two cops descend on a drug dealer. A conservative judge defends the confiscation of a family farm over a small patch of marijuana. And a pregnant woman mingles with her wealthy friends at a golf course, blissfully unaware of what awaits her when she gets home. These scenes open this film, which tells four interconnected stories about greed and addiction, illuminating the futility of America's "war on drugs."
