David Sheff é um conceituado jornalista e escritor que vive com a segunda esposa e os filhos. O filho mais velho, Nic Sheff, é viciado em metanfetamina e abala completamente a rotina da família e daquele lar. David tenta entender o que acontece com o filho, que teve uma infância de carinho e suporte, ao mesmo tempo em que estuda a droga e sua dependência. Nic, por sua vez, passa por diversos ciclos da vida de um dependente químico, lutando para se recuperar, mas volta e meia se entregando ao vício.

On the 38th anniversary of the seminal music documentary, Heartworn Highways - a film that explored and captured the nascent roots of the Outlaw Country movement in the mid-70s - this followup documentary celebrates the authenticity and expresses the feelings of the legendary original, via a community of contemporary "outlaws" living and creating music in Nashville, Tennessee.

In her documentary Country Roads Marieke Schroeder embarks on a search for the authentic America - a country at a turning-point. It is a search for the substantial: the morale, the pioneering spirit that holds the nation and its population together in crisis. We meet the young generation of American singer-songwriters who consider themselves as successors of Country-rebels such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Steve Earle. They despair of themselves and their homeland and at the same time are full of hope, full of faith. Country Music opens up our view of the soul of the American nation and lets us rediscover the land and the music.

A musical documentary film about the politically minded singer/songwriter Steve Earle.
