Sex and drugs-getting hooked and getting off can be addicting.

In his visually and sexually stimulating film, director Verow introduces multiple characters and overlapping narratives that portray the physical and emotional faces of addiction. For Rob, drugs and sex are means of finding a bed to sleep in every night – while they provide Christian a means of dealing with his helplessness and loss. A writer records these characters and their unforgettable stories. The themes are universal, but the possibilities are endless.

Population: Who knows? Who cares? Google it. We'll be out in Taos running with the coyotes and lookin' for the jackalope. No gods, no newsfeed.
