Overview

Jonah Brand isn't necessarily the type of guy who would interest ultra-hot Sara Weller. But when she and her friends find out he works at a pharmacy, they charm him into their circle and gain his trust with manipulative fawning. Jonah knows he's playing with danger, but it's tough to resist the game.

It's almost impossible to identify with any of these kids, even Jonah, whose motives seem so worthless and whose behavior turns so unpleasantly erratic.

Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Fresh

A darkly compelling immersion in the lives of pill-popping teens that admirably steers clear of moralism.

Justin Chang, Variety
