Spoon, Stretch, and Cookie are bandmates in the spoken word genre living in Detroit. When Cookie overdoses on her first hit of heroin, Spoon and Stretch decide to kick their habit. Throughout a disastrous day, the two addicts dodge police and local criminals while struggling with an apathetic government bureaucracy that thwarts their entrance to a drug rehabilitation program, all while uncertain if Cookie will make it through the day.
