She chased the dream, but lived the nightmare
Clea Myers, a young British graduate, goes from an Ivy League College to Los Angeles Womens’ Penitentiary in 3 years, emaciated and addicted to crystal meth. Clea, a thrill-seeker, plunges into seedy LA life in the name of research. She experiments with crystal meth and it provides the perfect boost. Quick-fire friendships and lovers, dumpster-diving, black magic and fraud preclude a stay in Rehab that only serves as a way-station on her continual descent into LA’s dark-side.
Dangerous foul play and escalating paranoia threaten to send Clea over the edge. Will she make it home to the UK before it is too late?
