movie synopsis:
It's all about the night for a med student, a teenage runaway, a lawyer, a drag queen, a high school basketball star, a dealer, and a teacher as they all cross paths in the Ecstasy-riddled Los Angeles underground party scene.

- Pros: independent film brings it's nation-wide tour to brooklyn
- Cons: only one show :(
