The trailer shows a drugged-out Franco assuring his sister (Jacobson) that he won’t use anymore. In a grim overhead shot moments later, Jacobson is caring for his child in a bathroom while Franco shoots up again in an adjacent toilet stall. The trailer comes to a quietly alarming end, as Jacobson whispers one phrase, “it’s ok,” over and over.
