A powerful true story on the extraordinary life of teenage poet-rocker turned junkie, Jim Carroll. Jim is a basketball-crazy Cotholic High School student whose passion for his friends and sport is matched only by his love of writing. But things soon change for Jim when his best friend, Boggy dies of Leukemia. Suddenly life is more than just adolescent angst - it becomes too much to bear. When Jim seeks solace in the inescapable world of heroin and hustling, everything begins to spin hopelessly and relentlessly out of control...
