Blind Lead, The

Johnny Boy is a Chicago failed writer on the brink of madness. In a last act of desperation he drives to New York to run down a phantom deal for his last play. Along for the ride are the drug dealer, Aristotle for whom Johnny does strong arm collections and his sexually self-destructive girlfriend and out of work actress Anita. They hit the road and the road hits back. The drug-fueled all-night drive devolves into sadistic mind games, sex games and when Johnny Boy meets up Max, a deadly Southie gangster-an explosion of unpredictable violence.
