Los Angeles, 1999. Neon bleeds into the night sky. Inside a sweltering afterparty, the air is dense with cigarette smoke and the smell of spilled beer. Fred Durst stands motionless in the center of the chaos, a nu-metal icon suddenly drowning in it. He crossed a line tonight, one he swore he'd never touch, inhaling crystal meth under the silent pressure of his own fame. Now the drug's initial rush has soured into a full-body panic attack. The scene follows him as he shoves away from the crowd, his baby blue eyes wide and unfocused, stumbling toward the balcony's edge. He grips the cold metal railing, knuckles white, gasping as the city lights smear into a dizzying mosaic below him.
