    In a gripping exploration of urban despair, follow Stacy's descent into Philadelphia's notorious Kensington district - an area synonymous with dr*gs, danger, and desperation. Having moved from the tranquil landscapes of Vermont, the harshness of her new surroundings rapidly consumes her, leading her down a path of addiction and pr*stitution. Through a series of shocking encounters and heart-wrenching experiences, Stacy's journey sheds light on the dark corners of America's op!oid crisis and everyone trapped within it.

    Other commenters saying they have no sympathy for her. You’re not in her shoes. You can see self harm scars all over her arms so she’s clearly had a history of mental health issues prior to this which likely led her down this path. Which is likely to be from trauma somebody else inflicted on her.

      You one hundred percent right. This doesn't happen average night but once a person starts this path it's really hard to deviate. The drugs got a lot worse.

      Yes your absolutely correct people who say shit like that is because their actually scared they couldn’t survive a day in her shoes I know someone or something hurt this girl bad to where she doesn’t have hope she can recover at some point

      I dont have sympathy for her. Sorry. She clearly wants this path.....she said so herself. Why am i supposed to habe sympathy for someone who is content being this bad off? She doesn't want help.

    i feel for her, i really do. you get glimpses of her personality and she seems very funny, witty, and well spoken. i hope she finds peace one day. she’s beautiful and i can tell she has a good heart, and definitely deserves help- when she wants it, i hope it’s there.

    • @JeanineFollette

      Right, she seems extremely strong willed and driven to me. Obviously she's hurt most of her life and doesn't see a better way out of that other than using. I love how straight forward, unashamed, and smart she is. I wish she'd be more open to getting sober since I think she'd be such a success at whatever she'd put her mind to.

    I feel so bad that people are terrified to go threw withdrawals from this zylozine that they rather stay stuck not caring if they die . Doctors need to find a way to combat these severe withdrawals to give them some hope . Many videos I’ve seen most say they want help but are to scared.

    I’m from Trenton NJ, born and raised until I moved my kids and I to the suburbs in NC about 25 mins from Charlotte 4yrs ago. Trenton is a mini Philly. Teens dying of laced pills and the majority shooting everything up on top of adult addicts in the streets. It’s no place to raise a family anymore and glad I was blessed to be able to move my kids far away!!!!
