In 1985, Dallas electrician and rodeo cowboy Ron Woodroof is diagnosed with AIDS and given 30 days to live. He initially refuses to accept the diagnosis, but remembers having unprotected sex with an intravenous drug-using prostitute. He is soon ostracized by family and friends, gets fired from his job, and is eventually evicted from his home. At the hospital, he is tended to by Dr. Eve Saks, who tells him that they are testing a drug called zidovudine (AZT), an antiretroviral drug which is thought to prolong the life of AIDS patients—and is the only drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for testing on humans. Saks informs him that in the clinical trials, half the patients receive the drug and the other half are given a placebo, as this is the only way they can determine if the drug is working.

En découvrant le film The Notorious Bettie Page, produit par la chaîne HBO en 2006, la principale intéressée avait réagi sans équivoque : "Mensonges ! Mensonges !" Dans une longue interview enregistrée peu avant sa mort, celle qui est entrée dans l'inconscient collectif comme la pin-up par excellence a livré sa version des faits au réalisateur Mark Mori. D'une voix rocailleuse, Bettie Page raconte sa propre histoire et lève le voile sur des zones souvent masquées par des images qui ont fait fantasmer tant d'hommes et de femmes depuis les années 1950 : son enfance maltraitée, une éclipse qui dura quarante ans, sa maladie mentale. À travers des témoignages et des archives inédites, ce documentaire fait revivre un corps et un visage déclinés à l'infini sous nos yeux, ainsi que Bettie le souhaitait : "Je voudrais que les gens se souviennent de moi comme j'étais sur les photos.

The film opens with a man, later revealed to be named BJ, in a morgue who has sex with a corpse that has a biohazard symbol on the toe tag; afterward, he handles an empty test tube while washing up. Later, at a party, Samantha unsuccessfully attempts to contact her ex-girlfriend Nikki and meets with her friend Alice, who encourages Samantha to drink to forget about her recent break-up. Riley, who has an unrequited crush on Samantha, and Zain attempt to flirt with her, but Samantha brushes them off and excuses herself. She eventually gives in to Alice's intense pressure and becomes drunk. BJ introduces himself to Samantha and hands her a drink that he claims she dropped. Samantha, too drunk to know whether it is her drink or not, accepts it. Although she says she is a lesbian who is already involved in a relationship, as a result from being drunk and drugged, she agrees to have intercourse with BJ. From inside his car, Samantha begs BJ to stop and eventually blacks out.
