“A documentary on how the face of homelessness and addiction has changed markedly in the past five years.”
The face of homelessness and addiction has changed markedly in the past five years; no longer is it someone you don't know. They are your neighbor's son or daughter, your nephew or niece, your best friend or partner and they are dying at a rapid rate. Watch as we reveal the story of life as someone who lives in the eye of the needle.

A stark portrayal of life among a group of heroin addicts who hang out in Needle Park in New York City. Played against this setting is a low-key love story between Bobby, a young addict and small-time hustler, and Helen, a homeless girl who finds in her relationship with Bobby the stability she craves.

A near-penniless drifter's journey to Alaska in search of work is interrupted when she loses her dog while attempting to shoplift food for it.
