Blackbird

BLACKBIRD dramatizes the ill-fated courtship between two melancholic heroin addicts - Gulf War veteran Bayliss and ex-stripper Froggy as they fall in love and battle magnetizing addictions. The possibility of redemption waxes strong from time to time, with hope for some semblance of a "normal life" lingering quietly in the background, but Bayliss and Froggy never quite seem to find the strength and control to pull everything together. And in the end, they join one another on a downward spiral that leads inexorably toward mutual self-destruction.
