A drug dealer who discovers his girlfriend and best friend are having an affair secretly doses them with a strange new street drug where they are hunted by a murderous monster from within the hallucinatory world of the drug trip.

- Come on, put the
hammer away and open up.

It's only me.

Donovan.

Are you sick or something?

- No.

- What's cooking, farts?

- I've got your order.

- Sweet, so it's all?

Yes, yes, oh my God, you guys
are the bomb, seriously, wow.

- I told you.

- Never doubted.



You know, if they can score
like this all the time, then.

- Even the score, this isn't a food bank.

- Uh, look, I know I
said it would be good,

but things just got a little
tight, you know how it is.

- I don't know how it is,
what do you mean, tight?

Do you have my money or not?

- Yeah, yeah, but can
you just, like, you know,

work with me here a bit?

- Thing is, it's not just
me you're working with.

There's other people
who are involved here,

and these people don't
fuck around or play games.

- I understand, fully, I do, you know,

this ain't my first, I'm
all about business, right?

But just so at the moment,
okay, it's an in between



kinda situation, right, so
there's gotta be some way,

there's no way we can lay it off for a bit

until I can move a little
of that something something?

- Something of what?

- I've got some genuine
anxious customers, man.

I could vend that sweetness
right this afternoon

and have the cash in your
hand first thing tomorrow,

breakfast like.

- Oh, I seem to attract idiots.

- So...
- So what?

- So can you hook me up
and I can do my thing

and I'll make squares and tada?

- I don't do fronts, you know that.

- Of course, what the fuck do I look like?

Actually, don't answer that, listen.

This time, first last and only, right?

You hook me up with this
connect and I'll owe you.

I'll owe you hard.

- Maybe we can work something out.

- Yes, thank you, seriously,
thank you, for real.

I'll take 100 of those
sick pinks, we've got a lot

of requests for them since last time.

- I have the pinks, but
I got something better,

something much, much better.

- What are those?

- The cost is 10, you sell 'em for 20,

I'll give 'em to you for seven.

- Seven, shit, all right, great, man,

that'll cover the cost for
the wine and the front or?

- Don't worry about the
front, just peddle them.

- Damn straight I'm gonna, thanks.

What do you call this shit?

- Black candy.

- Hey, I know this is a bit much, but

I need a personal top up too.

- Shit, Jesus.

- Hey, come on, man, it's not much,

just throw it in the mix
on the tab, it's just

a couple grams of crystal
to see me through.

- I got something for you.

Consider this a bonus if
you move all the pills.

Don't dose on the black ones.

- Hey, hey, no problem,
big rules of retail, right?

Washroom's for paying customers
only, don't stroke the boss

and don't do your own inventory.

Can Vic come out to play?

- No, mate, let me just check my schedule.

- You bastard.

- Playtime.

- Yeah, as in?

Prepare for liftoff.

- What is this craziness?

- Calls itself black candy
and it's the atomic deal.

- Doesn't look that tough.

- But it is, there's some
serious fucked up chemistry

in that little rocket.

- Yeah, fucked up is one thing, rocket?

That's another.

- That shit will take you to
the other side of everywhere.

- I don't know, man, you
got any of those pinks?

That was some heady shit.

- Hahah, man, that shit
makes pinks obsolete.

Besides, it's the same lab
busting it out as the others,

as in new and improved, like.
- Oh, really?

- Mmhmm, tell you what.

How 'bout I give you a
taste, see if you like it?

- On the house?
- On the house.

- Aw man.

- I'm a generous man.

- And it's appreciated.

- Hey, mind if I kick it
here for a little bit,

get a little hardwired?

- Yeah, man, cool your boots,
you want a beer or anything?

- Definitely.

- All right, I don't have any
fancy wine for you, though.

- Oh shit.

Comes on pretty strong.

- Mmhmm, told you, so, you
wanna go out tonight or what?

- What?
- You said you wanted

to go out tonight.

- Fuck.

The fuck is that shit?

- Good.

- Dude, what the fuck,
what the fuck is this?

Dude, dude, get it off, man, get it off,

what is this shit, man?

Dude, get it off me!

- Dude, there's nothing wrong.
- Dude, get it off me, man,

get it off me!

- Relax, relax, there's nothing on you,

just breathe, breathe, man,
breathe, breathe, it's fine,

there's nothing on you.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Yo, what, should I?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, shit!

Fuck, shit.

Fuck this!

Hey.

Yo, you talked to Gav?

Shae?

- Yeah, I'm in here.
- I see that.

Did you talk to Gavin?

- Nope, not yet.

- All right, I'll text him.

How long, you think?

- Like an hour?

- Hey, this is Vic,
I can't answer the phone

'cause I'm probably at a crazy
party you weren't invited to

so leave a message or
whatever after the beep.

- I.

I let 'em know.

- How was your meeting?

- Oh, man, you gotta see
this first selection.

It's all primo, it's gonna move for sure.

- Pick your wine?

Yo?

You pick your wines, or
do we have to stop off?

- No, they're on the kitchen counter.

- Which ones, there's
like six bottles here.

Which one?

- The Chardonnay, the
Bordeaux, the red label one

and the one with the tree on it.

- God forbid we
bring the wrong wine.

- Yeah.

God forbid.

- Getting, Gav's waiting.

- Damn straight, let's hustle.

- This is gonna be fun.

All right, my love, proceed.

- Aloha.
- So great to see you.

- I know, I know, oh, how's
it going, my bro?

Why don't we side slide into
my old tiki hut, shall we?

- Mm.
- Yeah.

Ah, so.

What's the story, you two,
your oh nos been low low

with the D kind?

- Why are you talking like that?

- 'Cause that's how
everyone talks in Hawaii.

- Oh yeah, like hippie surfer MMA dudes?

- Oh yeah, ground 'em
and pound 'em, haoli,

hang loose.

- No, no, that's done,
as of like right now.

- All right.
- Speaking of,

whatever happened with
that MMA movie you were on?

- Oh yeah, Money Punch Extreme.

I passed, couldn't find an
entree into the script, you know?

- Entree?

- Wasn't homoerotic enough.

- Ah.
- Yeah, I missed you guys.

Like really missed you guys.

Drinks.

- I brought wine.

- Surprise, Don brought wine.

- Of course he did, and of
course he won't let me open it.

Will he?

- This is a guy who drinks a
2012 La Montrechet Grand Croux

on the rocks in a mason jar.

- All right, how was I supposed to know

it was such a big such and such?

- 'Cause I told you it was.

- Okay, in my defense, it
was hot, I was thirsty,

so sue me or worse.

- Look, he's never
gonna let you forget it.

- No, I won't.

So how was it anyways, I
mean, no posts, no emails,

no updates, we were worried about you.

- You were worried.
- I mean, curious.

Whether or not you were killed
and eaten by the natives.

- It's part of the United States.

- This is you
we're talking about.

- This was a legitimate concern.

- Okay, we need
drinks, for God's sake, drinks.

- I shall proceed with the
uncorking, where's the decanter?

- The, the what?

- Ugh, I guess we'll just
have to let the wine breathe

on its own like it's only slightly ideal.

- As long as it's only
slightly ideal, that's cool.

How's it breathing in there?

- Oh, it's breathing.

Here.

And here.

In vino, veritas.

- Oh, sorry, we can't.

- Why?
- It's not right.

- Not right, this is a
goddamn 2009 Margo Bordeaux.

More than all right.

- I suppose I'm impressed,

but it's not right for this moment.

- What moment?
- This welcome back home

toast moment.

- Have you got the
Polynesian flu or something?

- No, better, I have got
the last of the Mohicans,

well, the Aztecs, hold on.

- He must have hit his head or something.

- Ah, hasn't changed a bit.
- Hey, did you notice his tan?

It's a little orangey.

- We're in business.
- Great.

- Here we go.

This here is a little
gift from the producers.

They only make 50 liters
of this stuff a year

in the village it comes from.

It is the Cadillac of Mezcals.

Check this out.

To us, to all and to awesome.

- Hmm, oh, it's really good, babe.

- It's safe, go ahead, sip.

- Hmm.

It's smooth.

- Mmhmm, and spinny
us up a drink, would you?

- So.

Spill it.

Hawaii.
- Mmm.

- Getting crazy with them
tropical beach babes or what?

- Come on, you know I'm a professional,

I don't kiss and tell.

- So no then.

- Mm, listen, no matter how
beautiful those Hawaiian nights

are, at the end of the
day, I decided to go back

to my hotel room and do the work.

- Fantastic, come on.

So, Don.

How's your wine dong?

- It's Wine Dork, okay?

And it's gonna happen, it's happening.

Just secured my first inventory.

Next thing is to put it
on the site, the app,

get it out there.

Some financing would be dope
for marketing and shit, but.

I have faith.

- 'Cause I was telling
some guys about your idea

and they're very interested.

- You're not fucking with me, right?

- These guys invest in
startups and shit like that.

- And you told them about Wine Dork.

- Yeah.

- That sounds awesome.

I mean, you know how
it is with this stuff.

Believe it when you see it.

- Listen, it is legit, trust me.

- Trust, you, okay.

- Mmm.

This here is some sweet ass grape juice.

- Don knows his wines.

- I'm a dork for it.

- Oh.

Check this out.

- What's this?

- A script.
- Yeah, I can see that.

- Uh-huh.
- You wrote it.

- I did.

- How'd you manage that?

- Hah, hah, hilarious,
I actually wrote it and

it's actually good and actually
it's a starring vehicle

for our friend here.

- Yeah, okay, sure, yeah,
when's my call time, Gav?

- Yeah, sarcasm understood, but listen,

my agent right now is
working on dotting the Ts

and crossing the Is, the other way around,

but nonetheless, it's a go.

- You're not bullshitting.

- No, it's greenlit.

- And you're serious, that I'm gonna?

- This is my script and I'm looking for

a strong leading lady and
I couldn't think of anyone

stronger than yourself.

- Wow.

Should I read it before I even?

- Ah, no, don't worry
about that right now.

Trust me, it's got the meat
and potatoes of a script

like the action and the drama,
the comedy, it's perfect.

- This is so awesome.
- Yeah.

- Hey, Don?
- Yeah, Gav is awesome.

- Why don't we smoke a little hashish?

- Really.
- Yeah, I smuggled

a couple grams back from Hawaii.

There's this local guy there,
he makes the shit himself.

- All right, you in, babe?

- I'm fine.

- Blaze it.

Ready?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

- That's the shit, right man?

- Yeah, pretty good.

- Ah, this stuff is beautiful.

- Is everything okay in there?
- Uh-huh.

- Oh yeah.

Breakfast is served.

- Right?

- Fuck, Jesus.
- Shit, the hell?

- I have, it's cool.

It's, fuck, fuck.

- What'd you go and do
that for, you idiot?

- Fuck, mm, fuck.

- No, no, no, I don't think.

- Stop thinking, stop thinking, okay,

just tie him up and let's
get the fuck out of here.

- The fuck, you could've killed me.

- Shut up, shut up, we
could've killed you,

what the fuck did you give us?

- Only what you deserved is all.

- Tell her what the fuck
this shit is, man, tell her!

- It's not gonna matter
anyway, the shit is in you

already and it's real,
it's heavy and real.

- The fuck, man, what
the fuck did you give us?

- Don't be stupid, you both
know whose fault is what now

with your dirty sex stink shit!

- What do you mean?

- I don't need to explain anything.

But then again, we're all

Oh.

Hello.

Okay.

Shit, so.

So what do you want to do?

- How long have you known?

- Not long enough.

Why?

- Where were we going?

- I had plans, you know, I
have a plan, I was hustling.

- You're running on the same spot.

- Aren't we both, and you
know, I always thought we'd--

- We'd what?

I floated you, I bankrolled
your dreams and for what, huh?

So I could just hang out
and wait and wait for what?

At least Gavin's fucking moving forward.

He is on his own fucking steam.

- That's not steam, it's
bullshit, smoke and mirrors,

it's lies, don't be naive, come on.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay, we're.

- It's razzle dazzle time.

Tie him off.

Do, do, do.

Baby, baby.

Baby.

And we need some more
wine, wine, wine, wine.

- We used the word love a lot, both of us.

- I know.

- So were you always lying to me, or?

- What is that?

- I hate you, and I love you.

And it hurts.

- Katolis, this Roman
guy, all waxed poetic

about life and shit.

- Hey, no, hey, what the fuck?

Huh, oh shit.

Where the fuck is he?

I love you, okay, I'm sorry.

Stay with me.

Holy shit.

- Is everything okay, whoa, what the fuck?

What the fuck happened?

What the fuck happened?

Did you?

- No, no!

No, Gav, there was this thing, this guy,

it was real, and it fucking
took Don and it killed him

and it shot him.

- Someone shot him, I
didn't hear no fucking gun.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, listen, listen,

it shot him, like it shot him up,

and it took, like, Don's, his
blood and his guts or whatever

and it fucking shot him up
his fucking arm.

- Fuck.

Oh fuck, oh.

Okay.

We need to.

We need to get outta here.

We need to call the cops, fuck.

We need the fucking, ah.

It's, uh, it's gooey.

Oh.

- Where's the fucking lights, Gav?

- I can't.

Fuck, fuck.
- You gotta book it

right now, okay, I can't find the--

Dammit, Gav, you gotta help me here.

- Okay, okay,
just let me, just let me,

just let me think, there's a box.

- A what?
- A box

at the bottom of the stairs.

- What do you mean a fucking box?

- A box, a fucking
cardboard box, bring it to me.

- Okay, okay, I think I got it.

- Okay, oh, right, here, here.

- Jesus.
- No, no, no,

don't, don't, don't.

- You've just been stabbed in the chest,

you're just gonna have to.

- No, no, no, don't,
don't, do you remember that

TV show Trauma Squad I worked on?

- That shitty show you
never got me a part on?

- Yeah, sorry.

I.

On the show, we had
these doctor consultants.

- So?

- Well, the one thing
I learned from them was

any time there's like
trauma, like you're impaled

or stabbed or whatever,
you never want to move the,

you know, the
rebar or the impli,

the thing, whatever, you
don't want to move it

from the body, never, so seriously, don't.

- So you're just gonna leave it there?

- Oh, I guess so.

Oh shit, what happened?

- It's okay, it's okay,
it's just.

- Here, let me help, yeah, let me.

- What is all this stuff?

- These are New Year's Eve decorations.

- But I thought you canceled that party.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Why are you all wet?

- I.

There was this, I.

What the fuck is happening?

Like a fucking guy, like
he's not a hallucination,

he's like real, like really real,

like this is genuinely genuine.

- Yep, I know, I know, I'm
here, I'm on it too, you know.

- Oh shit, what the, Jesus.

- It's nothing, it's a
shoe, okay, it's nothing,

it's just another--
- Just another what,

fucking, there's a stab wound?

- Okay, I'm just trying to deal.

- Okay.

I get it, just trying to
deal by bleeding to death.

- Okay, I realize that, but this, look,

this is not a normal situation,
okay, this is not normal.

Back off.

- I don't know if you
noticed, but I also got

viciously stabbed for the first time,

so fuck, I get it, I don't
understand what's happening here.

Let me, let me.

Oh, no, what do we do,

do we just stay here
until this shit wears off?

- What, what, how long will that be?

How long til that creep comes storming

all desperate down the stairs?

- Desperate, what do you mean?

- It's jonesing.

- It's jonesing?

- After it killed Don.

I saw it shoot him up.

- He fucking mainlined Don.

Oh, that fucker, why the
fuck did Don fucking,

fuck him, fuck, that fucking idiot,

why the fuck would he, fuck.

Idiot!

- Oh, fuck this whole sorry
business, YOLO wannabe

good time fucking waste
time, and I thought,

you know, Don wasn't
doing shit with his life

for the whole time, it was me,

I wasn't making anything happen.

- Don't say that, no.
- Look at me,

I'm a fucking waste, Gav.

- No, what about those
good times we had, huh?

- It, it doesn't matter.

Let's just.

Might as well let that
fucking creep just come down

and get his fix, fuck it.

- No, no, no, this ain't done,
this ain't done, this ain't.

- Say what?
- This ain't done,

this ain't us, no, this ain't you.

This ain't me, all right?

We're gonna get through
this, you understand?

We're gonna get through this.

- It's in our head.

But it's not in our head.

- What now?

- The thing, the thing,
the creep or whatever,

it's in our trip, but
it's dosing too, right?

So if we can get inside of its trip.

- We get inside its trip.

- Yeah, yeah, we could
mind fuck it right back.

- Mind fuck it, what the?

- Yeah, yeah, you get it,
that's the only way out.

- The only way what?

- Yeah.

- Jesus, come on, you're
fucking crazy, I mean.

We're just, we're better just
to stay down here and hide.

- No, no, we have to go deep.

- Deep, how do we, how
do we do that, huh, huh?

- We get high on its supply.

- You want to get higher?

- Yeah, we're gonna get into
that creep or whatever's trip

and we're gonna kick ass outta here.

- Kick ass outta here, Jesus,

oh yeah, we'll just
stay down here and hide,

when that dude comes up,
we'll sharpen some sticks

or something.

- You want to whittle now?

You want to take?

First of all, I don't see
any goddamn sticks here.

Second of all, you need a
fucking knife to whittle,

do you have a knife, Gav?

- No.

- And if I had a knife, I would
just fucking use that knife.

Not that it would be any
fucking use here anyways.

So please.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't wanna.

- What happened to all
that this ain't you stuff,

this ain't me, this ain't us?

- I don't know.

- Okay.

Okay, fine, maybe, maybe we'll just.

Maybe you're right,
we'll just hide out here

and we'll lay low, right,
and we'll hold our breaths

and come down and maybe
it'll all just be sorta.

It'll all be fine.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry, that was stupid.

I'm scared, and
I'm tripped out as all fuck.

I'm not thinking so straight.

- Right.

It's just that I.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

- I know.

I don't either.

We ain't gonna go out like this.

- Okay.

So what now?

- Hey, uh.

I gotta tell you something.

- What?

- I'm pregnant.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

- I'm gonna die, I'm
gonna die, I'm gonna die.

- You're not gonna die,
you fuck, just shh.

- I'm gonna die.
- You're not dying

and you're not gonna die,
okay, so just man up.

- Holy fuck, what do we do now?

- We know where its attention
will be, on the needle.

Follow me.

- Where is he?

- I don't see him.

- Okay, you okay?

- Yeah, are you?

- Yeah, follow me.

- Wait, wait, wait a minute.
- What?

- Did you just tell me you're pregnant?

- Yeah.

- You better give me that needle
and I'll stab this bastard.

- Don't worry, all right, I got this.

- You sure?
- Just keep up.

- Hey.

Want this?

- Fuck!
