Basically, there are three scenes going on all at the same time. The main character gets sent to prison for being caught with heroin. His wound gets infected, and they eventually have to amputate his arm. His girlfriend is desparate for a fix, so she goes to this party and has to do all these humiliating sex acts for the drugs. Meanwhile, his mother's gone completely inane, and is being admitted into the hospital for electro-shock therapy.
It's depressing because all of these people's lives are just completely falling apart throughout the whole movie, and this was where it all came undone.
