Jake, like Jessica, is young — 21 — with little in the way of social support. He’s bitter in the way junkies inevitably are about this. Of his "friends" he says simply: "When the dope’s gone, so are they." To keep himself going, he works as a prostitute on Polk Street. But that brings its own darkness, perhaps equivalent to the habit itself: Jake says he’s been raped by johns four times. The film follows him in and out of homelessness and into an AIDS diagnosis that shows in his increasingly drawn face and jerky movements. We see him go from pathetic but stoic, saying he has too much of a conscience to rob anybody for junk, to tragic, as he’s booted back onto the street by a non-using boyfriend who’s had enough.
