A drug-fuelled sci-fi romp hailed as “a trailblazing, time-warping debut” from writer and director Sam Odlum. Drug-dependent best-friends Denise and Johnny owe their unpredictable dealer. In a desperate attempt to clear their debt they agree to a dodgy heist in an old house, inadvertently coming into possession of a bag of time-travelling drugs. The pair find themselves trapped in the house on diverging timelines. As Johnny travels through time, Denise grapples with isolation, confronting her personal history, the true identity of their dealer Kane, and the very essence of her existence. Both hilarious and vulnerable, Time Addicts delivers an enjoyable twist on the sci-fi genre.

After breaking into a decrepit stash house to steal a bag of mysterious drugs, escape proves more troublesome, as the pair find themselves trapped inside with a madman.

Separated through time, Denise is left alone to confront her past, their dealer’s real identity, and her very own existence.
