Synopsis:

In this fact-based Swedish movie, 23-year-old Stockholm junkie Sandra (Johanna Sallstrom) nearly dies from an overdose and checks into a rehab home, unaware that her drug pusher roommate Roffe (Mikael Persbrandt) is plying drugs on her 18-year-old sister Jannika (Tove Appelqvist) and forcing her into prostitution. Sandra soon leaves rehab in order to save sis -- while flashbacks reveal the childhood influences they experienced with their now-divorced upper-class father and alcoholic mother.

23-year old Sandra has been doing drugs for many years and has realized that she is in need of some kind of treatment. At the clinic she is told that her pimp / boyfriend Roffe has turned his attention to Sandra's younger and well-behaving sister Jannika.
