Two longtime lovers: spray paint artist, Chor Boogie, and yogini and performance artist, Bast.

One shocking drug relapse--after more than a decade clean.

Then the disheartening discovery: 90% of narcotics addicts relapse in the first year with standard models of treatment.

The lovers navigate the treacherous labyrinth of addiction and ultimately chose to pursue treatment with an obscure indigenous African sacred plant medicine called iboga, used since ancient times for shamanic initiation and spiritual healing, and proven to have powerful addiction breaking effects.
