Experiencing Interruptions?

Adults (IRL)

"Adults (IRL)" follows the tumultuous journey of Felix, a young man grappling with his own battle against drug addiction. Through his eyes, we witness the intertwined lives of his friends: Max, Spencer, and Brandon, each struggling with their own demons in the face of substance abuse.

Max, once a promising poet/musician with a bright future, finds himself trapped in a cycle of dependency. His downward spiral is marked by a series of inner thoughts and views of this modern world.

Spencer, a talented musician, uses alcohol as a means of coping with the pressures of his burgeoning career. Despite his initial success, his addiction threatens to derail his dreams as he becomes increasingly reliant on substances to numb his insecurities and fears.

Brandon, an introverted painter , initially views drugs as a means of escapism from the monotony of everyday life. However, his casual experimentation soon escalates into a full-blown addiction, leaving him isolated and desperate for a way out.

As Felix navigates his own struggles with addiction, he serves as a reluctant witness to the destructive paths chosen by his friends. Despite his best efforts to intervene and offer support, he finds himself powerless in the face of their overwhelming cravings and self-destructive behaviors.
