When illegal card dealer and recovering heroin addict Frankie Machine gets out of prison, he decides to straighten up. Armed with nothing but an old drum set, Frankie tries to get honest work as a drummer. But when his former employer and his old drug dealer re-enter his life, Frankie finds it hard to stay clean and eventually finds himself succumbing to his old habits.
Frankie Machine fights a losing battle against the crushing weight of addiction while trying to find rhythm in a legitimate life. This claustrophobic portrait of a man caught between the drum kit and the needle captures the frantic pulse of a losing streak.
