• • • • • • • • • •

 

 

Trying to escape the grasp of the drug, Jessica is hanging on by a thread. After learning she has the same infection as John, and that she is being evicted from the hotel, Jessica has run out of choices. She either has to start prostituting, selling drugs or go into rehab. On the night she served the notice to vacate the hotel she cries, shoots up and hangs on to an electric box along main St. in front of the hotel.
