Wasted Youth I: 13 Steps is about Vince, a college student and filmmaker who overcame drug and alcohol problems thanks to the loving support of his girlfriend, Angela. Life is great for Vince; his film is coming together, he and Angela are happy, and he is excelling in college. After one night at his friend Joseph’s house, everything falls apart. Vince’s relationship becomes strained, his grades plummet, and his film descends into chaos. Joseph takes it upon himself to help Vince by introducing him to contemporary sculptor Kiki Thompson. While Kiki seems like a positive force at first, she soon brings back those self-destructive desires. Will Vince fall victim to his past, or rise above temptation?
