Take, for instance, the pharmaceutical student who utilizes his skills to produce date-rape drugs, and he sells these concoctions in order to pay tuition. While each 'dirtbag' has his own story, all become obstacles to the protagonist – a dirtbag who's at the crossroads of change. Will he find redemption or destruction?
