Why Stop Now?

Young Eli Bloom doesn't have it easy. His classmates mob him, his big love Chloe apparently doesn't want to know anything about him and his mother Penny is a junkie. But he has a great talent: Eli is a gifted piano player. He gets the unique opportunity to audition at a renowned music academy. An opportunity that could change his sad life. However, on his way there he has to deliver his mother to a rehab clinic so that she can finally get away from her drugs. But Penny is rejected because there are no drugs in her urine. They get a hint that she'll be picked up when she gets high. So Eli and Penny go to their dealer Sprinkles to get some stuff. But he has nothing left and before Eli knows what's happening, he becomes a Spanish translator in a big drug deal.
