She teams up with a private investigator looking for a missing teen, and they are drawn into a deeper mystery around a house in Nob Hill.

'The Dirt' (March 22)

Sex, drugs, rock and roll — that's what you'd expect from a biopic about the band Mötley Crüe. And you get a lot of it. Hell, the movie stars with Tommy Lee (Colson Baker aka Machine Gun Kelly) performing oral sex on a groupie. It just gets wilder and more outrageous from there.
