The 51st State (2001)

Elmo McElroy, a street-smart American chemist, invents a revolutionary formula that promises to transcend reality, offering a high that's 51 times more potent than any other thrill known to man. This blue concoction, a ticket to the tantalizing '51st state,' is McElroy's golden ticket to riches beyond his wildest dreams. As he journeys to England with the aim of making a once-in-a-lifetime drug deal, he finds himself marooned in the grimy heart of Liverpool, accompanied by an unlikely escort and haunted by the ghost of a former lover. However, McElroy's dreams of a swift, lucrative deal soon dissolve into a comedic nightmare as he is ensnared in a labyrinth of deception and betrayal. Double-crosses become as common as the cobblestones of Liverpool, and McElroy's quick score transforms into a fight for survival. This swirling atmosphere of dark humor, suspense, and unexpected alliances will keep you on the edge of your seat, questioning who can be trusted in the pursuit of the ultimate high. Will McElroy successfully navigate this deadly game of cat and mouse, or will his dreams of the 51st state remain a distant fantasy? The 51st State is a thrilling roller-coaster ride into the underbelly of the drug trade, where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has a secret to hide.
