Summary
Clarke's improvisational film centers on eight drug addicts who have gathered in a Greenwich Village loft to await their connection. To pay for their drugs, they have allowed a would-be documentary filmmaker to photograph them. The film-within-a-film records the junkies rapping, jiving, taunting the camera and offering an impromptu jam session.
