A bleak, intimate portrait of addiction and doomed love in urban squalor, where tenderness cannot survive the gravity of heroin's pull.

A stark portrayal of life among a group of heroin addicts who hang out in Needle Park in New York City. Played against this setting is a low-key love story between Bobby, a young addict and small-time hustler, and Helen, a homeless girl who finds in her relationship with Bobby the stability she craves.
