Searching for the magic they had in their youth, two young men go on a crystal meth binge they call an adventure. The lines between running and chasing are blurred and their cravings run out of control. When they run out of drugs, reality sets in and the nightmare begins.
Candyland is based on a series of true stories. Cast and crew studied the subject and rehearsed the stories for more than a year before filming. This production style gives the film an unusual sense of immediacy, or in the words of one viewer, the sense of, "Danger, like it’s not acting going on... it’s real, and it’s messed up. I feel for those kids."
