Further details
After being mistaken for a heroin addict by a cabbie, Tim tries methadone and develops somewhat of a taste.
Returning to the rehab clinic, he is however surprised to find that it is now a fully functioning church, led by intense but charismatic preacher.
Delighted to see a new face, Tim is welcomed in by the friendly congregation who turn their attention to fostering Tim's spiritual side. Tim particularly enjoys the attention - particularly when it comes from sweet, attentive Esther who seems to have taken a particular shine to him.
