An intense new drug, appropriately named Loco, has invaded the streets of LA. It’s sublime and super addictive and everybody wants a hit. When his life takes a sudden dark turn, brilliant and broken 22-year-old Alex Chesler finds himself an apprentice drug cook to Loco’s inventor, Lester Skaggs. With the help of two other young followers, Lydia and Jason, Lester ruthlessly expands his distribution network. Rival drug king pin Talome, and his gang of violent thugs, are determined to find Lester’s drug kitchen and steal the formula. Lester’s three young partners in crime quickly learn that they are in way over their heads. Alex and Lydia, who have fallen in love, decide to get out from under Lester’s control and hopefully escape with their lives. Enter DEA agent, John Delaney. He arrests Alex, offering him immunity in exchange for Lester. During the interrogation, Alex adamantly defends Lester, until Delaney convinces him that Lester may not be his friend. What follows is an intricate cat and mouse game between Detective Delaney and Lester and Talome, in which Alex is an unwitting pawn. A fantastic twist in the climatic scenes reveals that nothing about Lester or Loco is what it seems to be.
