Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.

George (Johnny Depp) never looks like is he having fun. That is not surprising considering his childhood.
He heads to California, and is soon hooked up with Barbara (Franka Potente) and her dealer friend (Paul Reubens). He is starting his road to riches.
Soon, he is hitting the big time, using Barbara's job as a stewardess to move weed to the East Coast. But, it's not enough, so he strikes out to Mexico. He now has more money than he knows what to do with.
He steps up and is soon dealing with Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis) and dealing coke instead of weed. It wasn't long before he was dealing about 85% of the coke in America, and had literally boxes of money in his apartment.
He eventually hooks up with Penelope Cruz after Barbara dies. What a crazy woman! Soon, it's all over. He tries to go straight, but you really can't.
A really tragic ending.
