"Well acted hard look at how drug abuse shatters a family and a father's love fights to keep it together. Well done."

"2013. Poignant, dangerous, and gripping. Great movie. Wayne Brady as a bad boy, and Hill Harper is fantastic as a father trying to hold his family together. The film is based largely on the director's life. He grew up with a mother who was addicted to crack. Set in, you guessed it, 1982. And for you younger folks, crack indeed was whack in the 80s. Filmed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "
