Men sent their own way await heroin in Leach's apartment.
Eight drug addicts are waiting for their connection in a New York apartment belonging to Leach. Jim Dunn, a budding filmmaker, has agreed to pay for the fix if the addicts will allow him to film the connection scene. After the men get their shots, they talk Dunn into trying heroin in order to understand the subject "first hand." He becomes ill and while sleeping, Leach takes an overdose that puts him into a coma. Dunn recovers, with the aid of the connection, and writes off the film as a failure.—alfiehitchie
A title card announces that the film is a result of found footage assembled by cameraman J.J. Burden working for the acclaimed documentary filmmaker Jim Dunn, who has disappeared. Leach, a heroin addict, introduces the audience to his apartment where other heroin addicts, a mix of current and former jazz musicians, are waiting for Cowboy, their drug connection, to appear. Things go out of control as the men grow increasingly nervous and the cameraman keeps recording.—anonymous
A group of junkie "friends", most jazz musicians, have convened, as they regularly do, at Leach's New York City tenement apartment. Leach has ulterior motives in his hospitality as he expects the others to cover his share of their collective score, they all waiting for their regular dealer Cowboy to arrive with their next hits of heroin. The difference with this gathering is the addition of two others, Jim Dunn, a documentary filmmaker, and his camera person, J.J. Burden, the group allowing the two in in Jim funding their drug habit for the next week. Jim wants an honest depiction of the goings-on, which means they are to act like the cameras are not there, yet he wants to capture something exciting or interesting while directing J.J. to be mindful not to waste expensive film. What happens this evening is affected by Jim's admission that he's never touched illicit drugs, not even weed, and by Cowboy's ultimate arrival, this time with another unexpected person.—Huggo
