Addiction and Love: A Deadly Combination

by Jered Liechty

In a medium-sized Midwestern town, a small-time drug dealer finds his life spiraling out of control. What should have been routine, takes on a new light as new forces come to into play. Love has its sights set on ruining Red's life, and for some reason, he doesn't seem to care. More than that, he begins to welcome the increasing chaos and danger as he begins to take bigger and bigger risks, all in the name of love. While Red is working overtime to ruin his life, Treena finds herself on a roller coaster ride that she did not anticipate. Only out for a quick buzz before she returns to her normal, mundane life, she makes a connection with Red, and soon finds out that what appears desirable on the surface has a hidden, dark and dangerous side. As the consequences begin to add up, Treena finds herself in over her head in two ways. She is in love and can't seem to get enough of the new man in her life, and she is an addict, and can't seem to stop getting high, no matter what the risks or rewards. Echo is only trying to live out her simple fantasy of getting high everyday, and being the drug dealers number one girl. Soon, problems arise as new characters and personalities appear and disrupt the quiet imbalance of her life. How much abuse and neglect is she willing to tolerate to keep getting high for free? Her love for her man gets hopelessly tangled with her need for drugs, and her bodies desire for sex of all kinds. Watch as these three and more lose control of their lives, as they fall victim to the drugs, love, and life in the streets.
