D-Ice and Pansy have been living in a Budget Inn hotel room for the past five months. To pay for the room, D-Ice sells crack cocaine and Pansy sells her body. In this claustrophobic setting the two fight addiction, aftermath of past abuse, and the difficulty of living "an abnormal life." While the room is only 12 by 15 feet, it is better than fighting their demons on the streets of Durham where Pansy has been arrested for prostitution multiple times.
