In the world of 1970s British punk, the Sex Pistols are icons, and bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen are riding the high…literally.
Dependence and co-dependence intertwine in this torturous biopic. They say love is a drug, but when drugs become love, things can spiral out of control.
