Summary: Lenny Brown moves to California to find his fortune in tax shelter investments. When the federal government changes the tax laws, poor Lenny finds himself $700,000 in hock with nowhere to turn. His friend, Joel, introduces him to cocaine to give Lenny that needed "boost". What ensues next is a descent into drug addiction and insanity as Lenny tries to regain control of his life, all the while needing that extra "boost". (imdb)

An interesting (and rare) look into the motivation of drug addiction. Woods is perfectly cast as the wired salesman who can never quite prove himself enough. Sean Young is surprisingly warm as his loving wife.

The toxicomania of the American Dream. Interesting ideas and a good performance by James Woods undermined by some weak dialogue and a script that needed work.
