Charismatic painter Steve (Scanners star Stephen Lack) has carved out a reputation as Montreal’s premiere drug connection, trafficking narcotics with a crew of friends (and lovers) living as a makeshift “family” on the fringes of society. But tensions rise when the police catch wind of their latest shipment, and Steve strikes up a friendship with a university student eager to observe the group’s illicit lifestyle for his graduate thesis.

Featuring seven songs by acclaimed Leonard Cohen collaborator Lewis Furey, the directorial debut of Allan Moyle (Times Square, Pump up the Volume, Empire Records) is an inventive drug drama that set the stage for Drugstore Cowboy, Trainspotting, and a number of other unflinching films that made waves in subsequent decades.

Restored in 2K by Canadian International Pictures from the original 16mm A/B negatives.

Q&A with Stephen Lack following screening.
