Synopsis/Details
Set in a famous LA rehab center founded by a world-renown addiction therapist, it centers on White, a global pop star with a host of addictions as high as her beehive hairdo-- as she battles them and an addicted and imprisoned ex-husband through song and dance. As do her six fellow patients with addiction histories of their own: Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Black, and Orange.
Some find a way out of their own personal hell, some don't as they transverse a surreal world of giant hypodermic needles and cocktail glasses, mountains of coke, and enough cigarettes and pot to make you think you're watching some kind of smoke-filled film noir nightmare-- but in color with lots of singing, some occasional dancing, and an always in-your-face anti-addiction message.
