Charlie is addicted to heroin and Heather is addicted to speed and they become magnetically attracted and addicted to each other.
A Junkie love story between two women, a truck stop prostitute and a truck-driver, who battle their addictions in the hopes of finding love and faith in the middle of nowhere.
"As the beleaguered women, both Lee and Messier are on fine form. Lee plays Charlie as a more internalised role, a mostly quiet(er) counterpoint to Messier’s garrulous Heather. Charlie’s drug habit leaves her looking haggard and on the verge of death a lot of the time, and Lee isn’t afraid to look suitably ghastly. Heather has a nervous laugh that animates her face in a way that shows off her insecurity around other people; like Lee, Messier isn’t afraid to look worn-down or exhausted. Both actresses express a degree of fearlessness in their roles that adds texture and a coarse vitality to their roles, but they’re equally adept at showing the vulnerability and the tenderness that Heather and Charlie are able to show each other, and no one else." -Nigel Burris, Review, TheDullwoodExperiment |
