White girl gets involved with brown people, nearly ruins her life.

And theirs, of course, but that isn’t our primary point of view in this good-looking but tonally dubious feature debut from Elizabeth Wood. Morgan Saylor (“Homeland”) is Leah, a New York college student interning at a magazine and slumming it in her off hours with Blue (Brian ‘Sene’ Marc), the hot drug dealer on her Ridgewood, Queens, corner. When he’s busted, she starts selling his drugs (and, eventually, herself) to help him — when she’s not Hoovering them up.

Wood’s deliberately repellent narrative occasionally puts a perfect point on white privilege: “I know I can figure out the money,” Leah chirps to a reptile-eyed lawyer (Chris Noth) and, later, to her predatory boss (Justin Bartha). But the film’s endless scenes of debauchery and exploitation don’t really yield much of a take-away, other than, “Don’t be an a - - hole.”
