A man is being robbed and stabbed by a junkie and in the last second before he dies, a youth friendship flashes before his eyes. He and his bosomfriend grew apart, when the latter was being drawn more and more into a misty world of drugs and criminality under influence of a lowlife dealer who lives with his father on the junkyard in their neighbourhood.
Een man wordt door een junkie beroofd en neergestoken. Terwijl hij valt en het leven uit zijn lichaam verdwijnt, flitsen herinneringen uit zijn jeugd aan zijn ogen voorbij.
