Program Notes
Heroin is more than a drug--it’s a lifestyle, and Jesse Marino has become a full-fledged junkie because of it. He’s mandated to Rising Above, a residential rehabilitation house, with an ultimatum: get clean, or go to jail. As he struggles to overcome addiction, he’s faced with a collection of residents and a counselor, all trying to escape demons of their own. Can Jesse get back up without confronting how far he’s fallen?
