A brief refrence

A pool of blood is seen at a crime scene. You see a brief shot of a homeless person dead from a drug overdose(you see the mangled arm). Nathaniel has a schizophrenic vision while playing a recital and points a stick from a chair at a music teacher. After he finds out Steve is thinking about getting him pyschiatric help, he threatens to "gut him like a fish" and knocks him to the ground. Steve crashes his bike and he has a bloody bruise for the first half of the film.

3 f-words and 10 s-words are the leaders. There's around a half dozen uses of religious profanity, but considering the film's grit, profanity is suprisingly low.

Crack cocaine is seen being smoked by homeless people in 2 or 3 scenes. Steve lights up what could be either a joint or a tobacco cigarette. Some homeless people might be smoking marijuana cigarettes, but the shots are rather out of focus. Steve and several others drink at bars. Lithium is referenced.

This whole story may upset people for it is about a homeless schizophrenic man.
