The Boost

How far would you go to keep your edge?

Life in the fast lane can be seductive, thrilling, intoxicating...but when night falls and the brakes fail, sooner or later you're gonna crash. Oscar nominee James Woods is "mesmeric" (Variety), and Sean Young delivers a "sensitive performance" (Los Angeles Times) in this gripping story of a loving couple's descent into the nightmare of cocaine addiction.



Lenny Brown (Woods) is finally on a roll: Recruited to sell real estate to the rich in LA, he's an overnight success. Suddenly, he and his wife (Young) have a beautiful home, fancy cars and a ready supply of cash. But when Lenny's fortunes suddenly change, he decides that he needs a "boost" to regain his edge. What he gets instead is an all-consuming need that drags him and his wife into a cycle of shame, denial and anguish.
