A group of disillusioned American youths cope with the uncertainty of their futures by distracting themselves with drugs, sex, love, and lies. As the stories of five young adults collide over the course of a few days and a few seemingly innocuous decisions, the resulting chaos throws their lives out of control to test the limits of their notions about friendship, love, trust, and the value of a human life. Jason Morrison is a drug dealer who learned a long time ago that nobody was going to take care of him but himself. Neither of his parents ever amounted to anything. Spending much of his misbegotten youth running drugs for a local gang in his hometown, everything changed when he started sleeping with Ashley Hasday about a year ago. More and more, Jason begins toying with the idea of ditching the criminal lifestyle and starting over fresh. Unfortunately, the money and the parties prove too tantalizing. To make matters worse, Ashley's developing cocaine addiction begins to infringe upon their everyday lives. Hooked on one another as much as they are to their lifestyles, their relationship descends into a turbulent whirlpool of passion, self-destruction, and despair. As things in their lives spiral further out of control, one of Ashley's ex-lovers, David Ryan, attempts to divert her away from her addictions. The only problem is, every time he tries to help, he ends up pushing her further away. Soon, his unexplained absences begin to take a toll on his relationship with girlfriend, Jessica Gallagher, who has been questioning David's motives and whereabouts since discovering some of the other unsavory secrets he's been keeping from her. Meanwhile, Jason's partner-in-crime, Theodore Kenneth Keene, has been silently suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. When the two of them learn about the disappearance of their supplier, Dante, Theo's self-control wanes as their lives are thrown upside down. As the power vacuum fills up, Theo and Jason are suddenly trapped within a shadowy game of criminal politics threatening the safety of everyone they care about. Can they endure? Or will they burn and fade away to... ASHES?
