Jonas Ackerlund takes you on a stomach-churning, head-spinning ride with of a group of speed freaks over the course of a three-day drug binge.

Struggling over the recent break-up with his girlfriend, crystal-meth addict Ross sets out to obtain his fix from his regular dealer - Spider Mike. Things begin to unravel when Mike realises that he's lost his stash. One thing leads to another when Mike's girlfriend asks Ross to pick up her stripper friend, Nikki. After he reluctantly agrees, he soon discovers that Nikki might have her own inside connection for her speed habit, courtesy of The Cook.

No stylish decadence, no romanticised self-destruction yet, no ham-fisted morality tale either, Ackerlund treats the characters with enough genuine compassion to give a poignancy to their wayward lives as they destroy themselves over the course of a weekend.

Infamous for creating promo videos for such songs as Madonna's 'Music', and the Prodigy's 'Smack my bitch up', Ackerlund had a lot riding on his first foray into feature filmmaking. With Spun he manages to do an unlikely thing - create a film that is inherently tied to the themes that ran through his music video work ' self-destruction, hedonism, addiction, out and out nihilism ' without falling into self-parody and cliché.
