Permanent Midnight
On the surface, Jerry Stahl seems to have it all. A successful career as a top Hollywood television scriptwriter earning $5,000 a week, married to a beautiful British television executive, Sandra (albeit a marriage of convenience), and a baby on the way. But behind the glossy facade lies a desperate junkie whose life is fast spiralling our of control. Having checked into a rehab clinic in the Arizona desert, Jerry starts a torrid affair with Kitty, a hardened but attractive recovering addict like himself, and together they face the challenging journey towards recovery in search of a brighter future... Based on Jerry Stahl's gripping autobiography, "Permanent Midnight" paints an alarming, but fascinating portrait of drugs in Tinseltown in this powerful story of one man's struggle against addiction.
