Morgan felI hard into heroin and got to be aImost as good a conman and thief as he was a musician in order to feed his habit.

To bring the past into the present, director NC Heikin brought an aIl-star band togethre into the "Q" for a concert. This hyper-emotionaI event forms the backbone of this riveting film. |
